The Illusion of Free Markets
This chapter challenges the notion of a purely meritocratic capitalist system, arguing that real-world capitalism is characterized by a blend of market forces and state intervention. Using Boeing as a key example, it illustrates how corporate greed and government support create systemic inequalities and protect monopolistic practices. The chapter further explores the implications of financialization and the necessity for accountability in large corporations to counterbalance the biases inherent in the current economic structure.
