Capitalism isn’t about value of work: you aren’t paid for what you deliver. Free markets are about supply and demand: is someone else willing to deliver the same value for a lower cost. We are all consumers behaving like this, looking for the best deals on products. Don’t expect employers to behave differently.

why did you transition from capitalism to free markets? I'm not sure I believe they are the same thing or are required to coexist in the same system.

  • Fair point, they are not the same. Reason to do this is because the parent mentioned not being awarded according to value, it seems to me his core problem is with the free market system, not so much with capitalism as a tool to organize power and politics.
