Just started Vulture capitalism, Grace Blakely. Very interesting, especially the part about Boeing & how they didn't mind if a few of their planes crshed, killing many, as long as they paid their shareholders big bucks. And get away with it.
“Capitalism is, at its core, defined by this divide:the divide between the people who own all the stuff required to produce the commodities, & those who are forced to sell their labour power to the capitalists to buy those comodities. The profit of the capitalist comes through the exploitation of the workers – the interests of the two are diametrically opposed.”
