No, I'm talking about how the system is designed so that all the money ends up in the hands of those with the most.
IF the economic system is designed for the poor to spend everything and the rich to perpetually grow their capital from that spending, the inevitable result of this is when the poor burn it all down having nothing left to lose.
Reading chapter 8 may help with the characterization.
I know you are busy, perhaps you can farm out the actual reading.
So, to be clear, my understanding of what chapter 9 illustrates is that the poor spend all their money back into a system that funnels it to those that already have most of it.
The rich do not spend all their money on surviving, their 'extra' money goes into making more money.
Nothing wrong with that situation, per se.
But, the inevitable ending is when the poor riot because the rich extracted too much and rioting costs the poor nothing.
This book offers a better split of the profits, yet retains the basics of crapitalism.
This short story offers a monkey wrench, but wage slaves, in general, don't read anything they are not forced to read.
Comfortable slaves never rebel.™
I have not read the book, after your comment only able to skim through the chapter. More time is needed.
However, what you say in the comment is a well known problem of 'trickel down economy" that is a by-product of capitalism. No argument there.
Take your time digesting the concepts expressed in these books, the inevitable will play out on its own time schedule, or it won't.
I was just hoping you could explain to me why what I have determined to be true from having read and digested the concepts expressed in these books is wrong.
No hurries, if you can debunk the math of chapter 9 you will be the first.
I've asked people that make their livings from math, and they refuse to respond to the question.
Just giving you a chance to not join that list.
