This is an interesting article that treats “capitalism”. It shows most anti-capitalists are intellectual people and this is caused by schooling system. Schooling system is a kind of society, where intellectuality is valued. It made intellectual children think they are top, but the confidences are sometimes broken in real society because the value is different. Real Society, capitalism, evaluate people by output or contribution for others. This value different from that in school system. The difference produces anti-capitalist.
This is ironical because school system is made for capitalism. To solve the problem, there are three choices: society changes like school, school changes like society, diminish the academic hierarchy. But each solution is not enough.
This article is interesting, but it is tricky because of ambiguous of words. If someone “oppose” capitalism, it does not necessarily mean reject capitalism completely. Sometimes people critic some aspects of capitalism, but few of them reject whole of that.
Moreover, he is deterministic in some aspect: individual act for each interest. It is not kind because I overlook some of them.
I think, for now, few people object “capitalism”. And in the first place, it is stupid to deny where we live, I think.
