NOTE

Market Value Reflects Wealth, Not Need

The market prioritizes profit over addressing all human problems, reflecting a bias towards those who can demonstrate financial value. It values individuals based on the intensity of their needs in relation to their wealth, often disregarding those without means. Consequently, survival in a capitalist market hinges on being perceived as useful enough to warrant employment and compensation.

The ongoing debate centers around how to address these systemic inequalities within economic frameworks.
