No, no, it's literally killing us. That's why we live such short lives compared to 100 years ago.

I'm obviously being exploited for my labour. Paying me so that I can support my family, and live better than most kings in antiquity really just shows how much I am exploited.

This may be so but Capitalism is not enlightenment. It is ruthlessness seeking to devour all of the resources on the planet.

I would argue that capitalism allows for more efficient use of resources. It does this not only through basic supply and demand, but through incentive to improve efficiency for profit.
