Free enterprise founded upon the principle of democracy
Carl Cohen defines Individualist Democracy as the rooted in the primary of the individual human being. This means that the democracy protects the right of each citizen in the making of the laws that govern all and maintains the social order within the society. Therefore it is a possibility that systems of free-enterprise, founded upon the principle of individualist democracy cannot cause the seed of their own destruction. However, philosopher Karl Marx will disagree with this theory.
In Heilbroner’s “World Philosophers”, Karl Marx explains in page 147 that “capitalism would sooner or later destroy itself”. In this Marx says “the plan less nature of production would lead to a constant disorganization of economic activity-to crises and slumps and the social chaos of depression. He believed that the societies enter a world of perfect capitalism: a place with no monopolies, unions and no special advantages for anyone. In it the commodity sells at exactly its proper price. Moreover it allows the prop
No. Just like in nature animals will kill one another in order to survive and which to everyone demise place a balance within the profitable system. The same apply to economy. Businesses will rise and fall because of competitors demand on great power and rise of profit.
Karl Marx suggests this “self-destruction” in individual democracy in his theory by using the socio-analysis. He shows “how profits fell, how capitalist sought new machinery, and how each boom ended in a crash and how small businesses were absorbed in each debacle by larger firms.” However is this many reasons why businesses fail because of their own self-destruction?
The answer is simple no. Every free-owner entrepreneur will encounter hard times within the economy business. But to determine that the society will self-destruct is unlikely as some one witnessing a blue cow dancing on the moon.
For example Mike and Vic plans to buy a machine for the farm in order to compete with other entrepreneurs in the world of technology.
