Do you think people in the world, on average, have better life outcomes now or a hundred years ago?


Why is that the comparison? It should be "do you think people in the world, on average, would have better outcomes today if there wasn't capitalism?"


based on every country that didn't adopt capitalism until recently, absolutely not. there are very few non-capitalist countries as all of them either failed or changed their economies.
