^ Still, it's been fun to read a thread that has about three different dialogues running through it simultaneously: your job, mindfulness' poll numbers, the birth of capitalism and can DMcC post a penis. This is the very stuff of MB!

^ Fixed that for you elph

Well, done Key! I'm pleased to hear things are going well for you - mainly for your sake but partly because it's refreshing to hear from someone who gets a sense of satisfaction from their job. This thread usually carries so many negative reports from the US job front. I understand that those reports are justified, but it's good to know that decent jobs do still exist in the US - I was beginning to doubt it.

And wasting a whole day debating about it. Yep. Typical MB.

They exist. I just try to have a really good work ethic on top of that. No reason to go into work to feel like **** every day. I try to make it fun. And it is. And thanks! Things have certainly been going well on the job front.

Love ya Key

Glad your job is working out

Honestly, I don’t know the ends and outs of your politics but it’s easy to feel like capitalism works when things are rolling your way. A new boss or a policy change is all it takes to kill career.

no, taking this back to my original point, the concept of private property (and thus capitalism) results from political revolutions

under feudalism, the government distributes land to Lords (usually awarded military veterans) in which the Serfs work with no claim to ownership of their work and without the ability to change employment

the idea that everyone could own their own labor was what separated Capitalism from Feudalism

That is another aspect of capitalism, but that's also relevant to wealth creation.

The reason market capitalism replaced mercantilism was because the decentralized nature of the market was more competitive than the old order.

Under feudalism, private property still existed. It was just more strictly allocated. And the caste system that existed was such that even if you became a relatively wealthy merchant (Marx's bourgeoisie), you could still have zero political clout if you were not nobility.

But the fact that this merchant class started to emerge even prior to the old regime being over thrown demonstrates that the market was already trending in that general direction.

Hit up the central library sale at 8:30 sharp and scored an instant French Impressionist Audio Collection including Debussy, Ravel, Satie, and Faure with four of the five volumes from EMI Classics France comprising unparalleled performances by Aldo Ciccolini.

And as an added surprise bonus - a modern classical EP by Ólafur Arnalds and the chillwave debut album by Youth Lagoon.

Total cost: $7.00.

Now all I need is a CD player...
