How could a feeling person not sympathise with the sights Orwell saw. My family is working class, my father was working at 14. Materially we are infinitely better off, but there are real tragedies around us ever day. My experience homelessness in the UK shocked me beyond words
I don't buy the business bad concept. No one holds a gun to my head and says buy an iPhone! The more choice we have the more efficient corps have to be. Where it breaks is when government puts its hands on the scales of the market, like it did in 2008.

The 2008 crash was due to deregulation of the housing market lol I think smartphone innovations would be better driven by direct customer feedback rather than by the market. Of course, competitive markets can still exist under a market socialist or syndicalist system.

2. Second point hits the nail on the head! The market is customer feedback! I make a bad widget, you buy it see it cr.p and never buy anything from my company again! If I am a state company I can require you to buy my product or go to jail. Like the TV licence fee in the UK.
