Capitalism vs Balanced Capitalism:
Capitalism incentivizes people and businesses to maximize the amount of money they earn through competition. Competition drives innovation as individuals create ways to accomplish tasks more efficiently. (www.themoneybalance.com)
However, capitalism does not provide for the many millions of Americans who lack competitive and/or business skills including the elderly, children, the physically and mentally disabled, stay at-home moms or dads, caregivers, the homeless, the marginalized, etc. Many salaried Americans like teachers, firefighters, police officers, nurses, gig workers, government workers, etc, may be competitive within their chosen fields but not in business.. Wages in the US have stagnated since the early 1970s. Labor strikes and bargaining agreements are often the only hope of gaining an increase in wages and benefits. Starting a successful long-term business takes an entrepreneurial talent and skill set a vast majority of Americans are not inclined or equipped to undertake for a host of varied reasons. To keep society functioning, capitalism requires government policies that value individuals and families. Despite the idea of a level playing field, capitalism does not promote equality of opportunity. That is why capitalism needs to be balanced for the lower and middle class to truly reap the benefits of the American capitalist dream. The economic system needs to work for all Americans.
People are the main driver of economic growth. Therefore, when people's needs and wants are catered to, the economy will benefit, and the capitalist system will remain in balance. (www.greatperformersacademy.com)
