Who the fuck are the leftists saying the reason capitalism is bad is because it was created by whites, show yourselves
Sorry, a friend sent me the screenshot, don't know where it's from
No, you see, capitalism can work well for POC, it's us corrupt mayos that actually need socialism.
The Debt book mentions that Adam Smith took many key concepts from a medieval muslim dude. Al-Ghazali I think. Down to the example of the pin maker to illustrate the division of labour.
