I did an infographic on Marx recently. This seems like the appropriate follow-up. In one way or another, I used AI in creating this post. I also used a word processor, my brain, thinking time, coffee, discussion, and about 50 years of reading.

@RichardJMurphy@mas.to quite like these, but are you able to split it in to multiple images as they're a little tricky to read even on a laptop...

@RichardJMurphy@mas.to Not all *Markets* fit into your definition. I’m thinking of *Financial Markets* such as Stock Exchanges which have become Houses of Speculations driven by profits and not *exchanges* per se.

@RichardJMurphy@mas.to useful - thanks I’m interested in your conclusion that capitalism can work for all with appropriate regulation. Given capitalism demands growing profitability, that implies endless economic growth, which increasingly seems as catastrophic as it is implausible on a finite planet, hurtling into climate & nature collapse Do you believe this circle can really be squared? Evidence for “green” growth & decoupling suggests it’s too little too late & downplays non-CO2 harms
