Just finished a decade long expedition of starting my business, growing it with love & tears to an exit to a venture funded giant in the space, being on their leash for a few years, & getting laid off just this week. AMA why capitalism will self consume. And since I have some time now I can try to articulate what I think will replace it.
Absolutely, we all need bread, so we all gotta do what we all gotta do. But that never stopped me from dreaming a few revolutions. Now I just have more time on me :)
I will give you more - I was a capitalist, in that I ran a business, but I might have been the worst capitalist ever, turns out I had too much empathy, I treated my customers & employees as not just humans, but as family, fuck me, am I right?
Speaking of understanding of those systems - I want to share this golden nugget with you and the world - even the most capitalistic of organizations run on the engine of cooperation & excellent teamwork under the hood. In short, cooperation runs the world, competition only ruins it.
