Capitalism is an economic and social system in which trade and industry are privately controlled for profit rather than by the state

Agree or not with the prerogative, at least Capitalism states its premise very clearly, well…that is of course, until things don’t go quite as smoothly as planned.

The concept of a free independent market has been the basis for modern capitalism in the last 50 years. In theory, the markets should regulate themselves, and the binary supply v.s demand should naturally dictate the flow of the market.

But doesn’t freedom bring a new set of responsibilities? And isn’t one of those responsibilities to accept the concept regardless of the circumstance? Or are we solely against something when it’s not convenient for us to be in favor of it?

This sort of double standard makes me question if the freedom we thought we were experiencing in this generation isn’t after all the same kind of tyranny our grand parents went through disguised with catchy buzz worlds like “Free Market”.
