There's a myth that Capitalism turned people into wage slaves, by making them richer with the fewest hours in history.
There's a myth that Capitalism turned people into wage slaves or starting increasing their workload. The truth belief stems from the profound ignorance. The facts show that: pre-capitalism was poveryty and mass starvation, and reason people fled to cities and industry is because the jobs were better/easier. We have more benefits, less death, more freedom than ever.

There's a myth that Capitalism turned people into wage slaves or starting increasing their workload. The truth belief stems from the profound ignorance of the believers. The facts show that:

  • Before capitalism there was abject poverty and mass starvation, so people didn't work because they didn't have a diet that enabled them to do much but slowly starve to death. (Nobel laureates Robert Fogeland and Angus Deaton)
  • Few understand the brutality (in hours and risks) of farm work, which was the alternative. The reason they fled to cities and industry is because the jobs were better.
  • Today's jobs are better, easier, with more benefits, less death, more freedom -- and virtually none of it was "given" to us by governments.
