Capitalism is a blessing and a curse.



Basically. There is nothing wrong with capitalism. The idea of capitalism is simple. If people like your products, they buy them. And that brings money to your bank accounts. If people don’t like our product, they don’t buy it. And that drives you into bankruptcy. That is the economic Darwinism. If the company cannot sell its products. That removes it from markets. 

Other ways. We can say that if the company cannot answer those new challenges, it will be terminated immediately. In the Soviet Union, there was no capitalism. And the competition between companies. Did not exist. That caused a situation where the merchandise. With bad quality being. Entered. Into shops. Without competition, there was no development. And that turned those products old-fashioned. That raised the Soviets' addiction. To the natural resources. To get Western currency. They sold gas and oil to get dollars, which they needed to buy Western technology. That caused a situation. The Soviet technology started to fall behind. 

The biggest problem in capitalism is that the only thing that means something is money. Companies are made. To bring money for their owners. And that means the benefit of the company owners. The company does as little as possible for other functions. Than functions that bring money into its stakeholders. 

This causes the company to forget its environmental responsibilities. Every investment made to clean water and decrease pollution is waiting until the final warning from the government. Only the last force and laws are things. That forces companies. To clean their wastewater or decrease pollution. Companies wait until the last minute to make the investments. Which allows them to decrease their pollution to a level. That it passes standards touching the limit. Everything that is made after multiple remarks is minimal. The companies, or somebody in the companies. Think that every extra cent. What they use for the environment is out of the profits that the company can share. 


And that is the case, where theoretical capitalism separates from practical capitalism. The thing is that the Western companies' purpose. It has always been to bring money to their owners. The fact is that this is the case, where some Eastern companies differ from Western companies. Those companies' mission is sometimes to deliver their government's agenda. Rather than make a business. That is one of the most important things that we must understand. 

When we talk about things. Like business. We all know about the power. Of the multinational corporations is that. They can make many things more effectively. And cheaper. than traditional corporations. Those companies can hire a person to work in an office in Dubai. That office can belong to the subsidiary. The main company was established. That company in Dubai. The worker can work remotely from their home, which can be in Finland or Sweden. And officially. They work in the company. That is registered in Dubai, in an office. Which is in Dubai. The thing is that those arrangements can save money. The purpose of that subsidiary can be only to act as a labor office. 

That has only one customer. The main company that “hires” those people for work. That is one way to reduce taxes and other payments. This is one way to benefit from the multinational position. Of the company. If the company has offices in all Western countries, it allows it to change the HQ location very fast. These kinds of companies might be. A rather clustered form. Of  different companies. Than one company. For an outsider. The company cluster of different-looking companies. It can be the same company. 

Those parts of clusters can act under different business names. Because that makes it easier to handle money flows. Those separated marketing sections that operate under their own business name can also take on other work. Same way. The transportation section. That has its own business name and can also transport other cargo. That maximizes the company's income. Those companies are listed on the stock market. That means almost any person. Those who have enough capital. Can buy those companies, whose value can be billions of dollars. 

What if the FSB buys an international company? And starts to use it for its purposes? Another actor who might be interested in the international companies is drug cartels. International import and export companies are things. That can offer a smuggling tool. For those super criminals. This is one reason why. There are sometimes risks in international companies. Those companies offer a great platform for international and hostile operators.
