There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas.

The Capitalist Manifesto[edit]
The Capitalist Manifesto is a book by Louis Kelso and Mortimer Adler published in 1956. It can be read as pdf
In lay language, the authors argue that we do not have a capitalist system because everyone is not a capitalist. That is, not having a second income, in addition to earnings from labour, from owning income earning assets.
As things are we have an employment society where the majority relies for an income on pleasing someone else. Instead of capitalism, we have an employment society based on mutual exploitation.
Other economists and professional have published on this theme before and after Kelso, notably C. H. Douglas before and Peoples Capitalism after Kelso. An easy search will produce a number of more recent works, not to mention the live interest in Universal Basic Income (UBI). However, a robust denialism seems to be evident in the camps of orthodox economism.
It is time for Peoples Capitalism!

I want to write a critical essay to denounce the dominant economic model that justifies an economic system that is designed to exploit society instead of serving it.
In last half century this system got even more sociopathic by becoming a finance-driven enterprise--finance exploiting the economy which in turn exploits society.
Three source books will guide the construction of the essay[edit]
- Capital as Power;
- Dark Money;
- Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order;
