Capitalism is actually pretty cool

The only reason Capitalism works is because we accept it. It's rather amazing, in my opinion. I disagree with the argument that the producers do less work for more money, and consumers do more work for less money. Why? It's simple: The producers first came up with the idea, hired all of the workers who are highly skilled in one area or another, and harnesses their abilities to make the best product for the cost of production. They also have to be intelligent in many areas of psychological thought in order to rise to the top of the market. There are millions, if not billions of new ideas and creations that are manufactured in new companies every year that are brilliant but never make it into the spotlight because the producers were not good enough at reading the public eye and playing the market. The producers' job is every bit as difficult as the producers' jobs, harder even, but for different reasons. They have to figure out the bell curve on how much the public values their product, and charge the highest amount possible while still satisfying the most number of consumers, so that people will actually buy the product. A fine balance, and only one of many that the producers must find in order to make a company succeed. It's all a mind game, and not everyone can keep up with the demanding nature of it.
