Capitalism must always be capitalized in the capital

Over the past weekend I was reading a very famous Peter Drucker book “Post-Capitalist Society”, which he produced in 1993. Dr. Drucker is obviously a fan of capitalism, but he also approaches it from a free perspective. the market and academic displacement simultaneously. As much as his comments on “post-capitalism” annoy me and I want to disagree with his conclusions in this paper, he raises a number of positive points. Okay, let’s talk about this for a second, shall we?

Dr. Drucker tells us of a period of time when capitalism reached its capital “C”, as it was not just an economic term, but also a socio-economic term. In fact, it was a noun and also a verb. Currently, I would say that we have a severe challenge in Washington DC with negative connotations that accompany the word capitalism, and it is a sham considering everything we are and everything we have built. There are many in Washington DC now, usually left-wing socialists, or Democrats who refuse to capitalize the word capitalism in our nation’s capital.

It is as if they no longer feel that the word is honorable and purposely go out of their way to show their discontent. In many respects, it arguably shows that the United States has lost its way and is following the European Union, South America, and other tottering socialist economies into the abyss. Remember, those people in Washington DC dictate a lot of politics and create the rules and regulations about business. In fact, they also make laws that include the social welfare of our society, which makes it even more alarming.

The word capitalism has been capitalized for more than 100 years. Degrading the word, or calling it evil in the midst of class struggle with the intention of dividing the people of this great nation, hurts our nation’s history and our progress. I often find it interesting that those who are socialists call themselves progressives, when socialism is really regressive in all respects. Actually, it has not worked anywhere it has been tested.

In this paper Peter Drucker insists that in the future we will have a knowledge-based economy, where knowledge is the most important skill, and yet I tend to disagree with at least half of their comments because they are the ones ” do “and its causality that is producing greater productivity by doing, not those who sit and think and analyze what was done before. One can sit down and talk about how things should be in a perfect utopian world, but it will surely take a capitalist or an entrepreneurial capitalist to make it possible.

Furthermore, allowing socialist intellectual thinkers – self-proclaimed in my opinion because I think it is an oxymoron – dictate policy and destroy our monetary system in trading this futuristic economy based solely on knowledge is ridiculous. We have already discovered that knowledge is easily accessible and relatively free. Unless all the knowledge in the world is gathered in one place and separated from the society where only a few people own the knowledge and therefore can control the economy, then all the knowledge will be owned by all the people.

In this sense, all it does is level the playing field and render knowledge absolutely useless, rather just a baseline, which is actually not that bad. If everyone has access to the same knowledge, how can we build an economic structure on it? Many have argued that America needs knowledge workers and that we must be the creators, innovators, and designers of tomorrow’s future. In other words, we will design and build everything, and it will be manufactured in labor-intensive locations.

That will not happen, because if knowledge is available everywhere, whether stolen for theft of intellectual property or specifically taught to other nations for reasons of liberty and liberty, it will remain universally known and therefore there will be no advantage to it. America or the western world. In other words, it is quite possible that a knowledge-based economy cannot exist with free and fair trade, or with knowledge that is distributed on the Internet around the world as it is today.

Also, other nations don’t need abundant labor to produce and manufacture anything, because the next generation of robots will do all the work. In fact, we will soon learn that we have too many people on the planet who are not really needed for anything except to consume, but who are of no value in a knowledge-based economy because their skill is no longer needed, and their knowledge is already known, while robots can do the rest.

A utopian civilization or a global economy based on knowledge will not work, it is not that it cannot work, it is that we would have to destroy everything to make it work and create a new class system with similar problems, if not more. in the process, without knowing the final results therefore;

Peter Drucker is wrong!

It’s good that Dr. Drucker produced this book, and it was intellectually interesting to read, even though it was written in 1993, not pretending to be a prediction of the future, but rather a warning of what it was and what it was. that it was going to be. come. Apparently, he was wrong. Okay, it’s still worth reading and I would recommend it to anyone in that regard. They say that knowledge is power, but if everyone has the same knowledge, then everyone has the power and therefore there is no power at all.

This is a lot for the father who tells his Son that he is very special, and then the father tells the neighboring child that he is special, and then his son asks; “I thought you said I was special?” And the father says; “You are special and he is special, because everyone is special.” Then your child makes a statement of intellectual revelation; “If everyone is special, then no one is.”

Similarly, if everyone has the same knowledge, then the knowledge is worthless. Interestingly, humans are putting all their knowledge online and making it available to the world. Even those with specialized knowledge will find others with the same knowledge by putting it online, even if they keep their own knowledge to themselves. Therefore, their secret knowledge or skills that they possess are no longer secret at all, nor are they worth anything.

If we destroy our capitalist society, we devalue our money, we claim to be entering an era of post-capitalism and then we show up at the door with the theory that; knowledge is power; then, in fact, we will be broken and powerless. It doesn’t seem like a very good plan to me. And you? In fact, I hope you will please consider all of this and think about it.
