Just subbed to the famous KKK leader Pewdiepie just to dab on the street shitters and big corps one last time
Imagine a combination of Jon Tron and PewdiePie
@Mr. Byzantium mfw abortion is actually getting worse instead of having a based Punished Kavanaugh
@Deleted User over here now
Yeah, I think you are
It refers to additional utility
And utility is the economics term for welfare
Capitalism tends to be good at this **if** we make some assumptions
Or rather **iff**
Meaning "if and only if" if your familiar with mathematic proofs
The assumptions are big though and don't work with Western Christian assumptions of original sin
The biggest assumption is that people make choices that are to their greatest own benefit
To use a concrete example then, consumer products. An efficient system brings down costs for consumers and makes TVs cheaper for instance. Is this your economic definition of increased surplus and utility?
That is one example, but far from a definition
It's more of a model for general decisions
It doesn't only apply to direct purchases
You can apply it to any decision really
So this assumes then that free markets are moral forces that drive down prices generally, both domestically and internationally?
No
It assumes that people make the best decisions for themselves
Which is absolutely false due to human depravity.
I am missing the point then. I am thinking about this like Tucker Carlson.
Capitalist could drive costs up at times actually
But that could be more efficient at times too
Free markets lead to improved standard of living, but all things considered they actually destroy communities and make life more miserable
