Gregory's ServerAlso, your statement of "we al have electricity and we all profit from cheap food" is not true in almost the entire planet and in around 30% of USA I think, but let's leave that aside for the moment being.

No, this is not true. When industrialization is paired with capitalism it results in that the capitalist take over everything and the rest get poorer. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X22002169 @remenca @sjuvonen @tinker The charts on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_poverty shows what I meant. Your article (colonialism, capitalism) might be true, but is a different topic. Yes, when everyone is a farmer and can care for theirselves, there is almost no extreme poverty. Too off-topic to discuss further though. |
@remenca @sjuvonen @tinker If you look at the industrialization, this helped everyone worldwide and extreme poverty levels have sunken to historic lows. So yes, this indeed helped everyone.
