Capitalism in its essence , means that there is private ownership over the means of production , and operating these for a profit . Taken in this general , abstract sense , the major argument against capitalism lies in the exploitation of labor . If i worked all day on creating a product , it would seem fair that i am the owner or at least partial owner of this product , and if it ' s sold i should receive a profit for it . And if i used someone else ' means of production to achieve this , using their tools would not imply the product becomes theirs completely . In capitalism , it does not work like this . A company or person owns the tools of productionsay , a factory , and buys the labor of others to work with their tools . at the end of the day , the person might have created a product , but this product is only the property of the company . The reward of working a whole day is no longer connected to how good my product turns out rather it is just dependent on the wage you earn . a wage that depends on free market mechanics , rather than on the value of the product you created . In its most fundamental sense , philosophers would argue that this is nothing more than slave labor . People are forced to work for a living , and end up in wage labor because they have no other options . Rather than profiting from the results of their hard work , all the products they make end up in the hands of the factory owner . They can ' t turn their work into a profit , because all extra value ends up in the hands of the factory owner , and they can ' t save up because wages are so low they can barely survive . The second argument relies on the formation of ever bigger companies and the accumulation of wealth at the top . While we ' ve seen in the last paragraph how none of the profit goes to the laborer , all this money ends up in the hands of the company . these profits will be reinvested , otherless succesful companies will get bought out , and the biggest companies will become bigger , improving their position , becoming even bigger . for modern examples , look at how disney , volkswagen , google , apple , buy out more and more companies , becoming global market controllers in several branches . These huge agglomerates have enormous profits , and price out any potential competitionor simply buy the entire companies before they grow too big . So , what are the main alternatives ? Let us start with the elephant in the room , communism . The most important feature of communism is in my own opinion not the abolishing of all money , but rather the nationalization of all means of production . How this would work in practice is still difficult to imagine , but it would imply that the factory itself would be state owned , and factory workers would no longer work for wages , but would divide the profits of the company between them . Without expanding too much here , i think communism has quite some unsolved problems , and does not seem like a truly viable alternative at the moment . A more serious option , however , might be to abolish wage labor . Rather than working for a set amount of money , with the profits going completely to the company , this would mean that anybody working for a company would become partial owner of the company . even though this has its own kinks to work out , it is already put in practice by some companies , and would provide a possible alternative for wage labor . Lastly , the most realistic option for actually becoming reality , would probably be to go for a form of socialist capitalism , where we accept capitalism , but put policies in place to prevent the worst excesses of capitalism . Among these policies would be a flat basic incomenegative income tax to prevent the exploitation of labor , policies in place to prevent not only monopolies but also oligopolies . a high top tariff tax on capital and policies to prevent tax evasion , etc .
