When lying and cheating doesn't get you ahead, there is no reason to do it.
- Ray20 1y agoThe problem is that without capitalism ONLY lying and cheating will get you ahead. Look at ANY country that builds its economy on the restriction of people's economic freedom, on the absence of private property rights - these are the most deceitful and disgusting regimes in the world with zero level of public trust.
- ghurtado 1y agoYou seriously think that mankind wasn't lying and cheating long before inventing capitalism?
- dgshsg 1y agoSure, but the risk/reward ratio was different.
- Workaccount2 1y agoIf we look at any communist society, the only way to get ahead was lying and cheating. China was forced to adopt capitalist markets to deal with this, hence why modern China hardly resembles the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, or Laos.
