Does Capitalism lead to increased or decreased social differences?
As
Capitalism has already been defined that it is an economic doctrine which is
based on private property of the means of production and the regulation
consumption and production by free market.
Capitalism
has its limits to the market economy. They put their attention on only the own interest.
They want to earn more and more to become a rich person in the society. They
want to put their hold on the economic market and do not prefer to the equal
opportunities.
Capitalists
are of the view that they have gotten the power in economy, so why they will
they support others to create an environment of competition to create challenge
to their economic imperialism. This thing don’t let them to take a step for the
welfare of the society. Their whole focus is on the economic market.
If capitalism
is analyzed in-depth and compare to Liberalism. Liberalism is based on free
market economy, but the main distinction between these two philosophies is that
Liberalism take it just a part of its philosophy as it give more significance to
the welfare society and their political and social rights. Liberalism gives
importance to equal opportunities and urges on individual right. But capitalism
have no space for such things as their priorities in free economic market is to
stable oneself without caring of other.
In this
scenario of Capitalism, how can one tie hopes of betterment from capitalist.
This is not appreciable point to think that capitalists put their eyes just on their
stable future.
A success doctrine
on the surface of the world is that (Liberalism) which take care of all the
mankind equally with justice. A philosophy which is the most favorable in the
right of mankind that will get popularity and people will accept it. The philosophy,
like capitalism, can not be accepted which support the powerful elements of society.
If such system is introduced in a state or in a society. It will bring bitter results;
this will give birth to instability, hatred, class system, injustices,
corruption, law and order situation and many more unexpected drawbacks in the society.
When a man as
a capitalist get authority and he is all in all in a free market economy
without any accountability and responsibility. He cannot be expected to think
for the welfare of a common man or labor class. He thinks to stable his own
generation and relatives. This thing creates uncertainty and a culture of
despair. In a result social disorder take place in the society. A common man
strives to break laws and state rules to feed their families by hook and by
crook.
In nutshell
it can be said that capitalism lead to the social difference though this doctrine
support free market economy, as they neglect the social and political aspects
of society and want to take hold of the market. This system can not be
considered as a perfect doctrine and code of life. The system is that which can
deal with members of society equally in each aspects for the welfare of the
people, which cannot be found in capitalism. This credit only goes to the
Liberalism which take care of each person of a society in every aspect of life.
