This Tycoon Believed In 1968 American Capitalism 

Did you listen to the story of how his dad got started? Initiative and persistence with a little luck in the beginning.

@@TheWanderingFinnegan Lol, born into a rich family, that makes the case. This interview isn't from that era, anyway. Money changes everything & the Bible warns you about this.

Most dont though, they belive in unfair goverment hadouts given only to them.

It's a prime lesson for almost anyone ❤

He said nothing of the sort if you actually listened. In fact, be believed in the welfare state, as he said at the end of the video.

When I read your comment, Drew, I paused and read the description. It contains many worthwhile tidbits, for sure! The philanthropic efforts especially capture my interest. It seems to me people don't often wonder about how the good things that exist came to be. ❤

​@@MicahScottPnD Thanks Micah. I agree at time we can take things for granted like it was always there. I knew of Kaiser Permanente Health Care System but not the person who founded it and now I know. perhaps David will post the entire film of Edgar Kaiser. Have a good one my friend. 😊

@AA-eq5wk Some of what you're bringing up is in fact happening in various pockets. It's out there if you look for it. im sure you know that anyway. Out of curiosity, are there models you look to as positive examples of how society can ideally be? Individuals/institutions/etc

@@MicahScottPnD yes I'm an idealist... I'm not sure what you mean by "models." ... the basis for what I have shared can be proven as science, laws which can be observed in nature... certainly nature is filled with competition, but for thinking humans a 'survival of the fittest" does not include throwing the "herd' or "pack" against each other in free nature, nor does it include taking out competitive species to the point of extinction... a country can be compared to a herd or pack that needs leadership but also includes strong and weak, young and old, male and female and all the other 'demographics" that also make up a human society.. in america, unlike nature, the herd is at war with each, at the very least on a business level to not only outdo the competition, but often eliminate it or consume it.. even those who are not the elite capitalists, the workers, have to also compete with each other for employment, advancement and so forth... but we need competition, as it is part of reality or can be observed in the physical world ... this is needed for variety, for a lack of monopoly, for innovation/evolution, etc... but the level of competition needed can be achieved where the herd is NOT at odds with each other, but instead each individual builds him/herself up with self improvement from whatever interests one might have... certainly there must be equal opportunity for education, learning trades, becoming artists, doing music, studying science, etc. but also encouragement to compete with oneself to advance in self improvement... this is where the productivity comes from... society doesn't need countless different brands, nor advertising, nor should it be based on sales, but rather all resources and manufacturing are directed to providing quality and state of the art for the population... this means many of the products/brands that are sold today go away, and are replaced with efficient global scaling and allocation so to provide a level playing field it terms of consumables... and when your society is not competing over consumption, but rather self improvement, there is no built in selfishness or excessive materialism which leads to environmental and social decline... the whole reason there are wars, especially today when humans have supposedly learned something over the centuries, are because of capitalism pushing consumption beyond borders and overtaking the competition... ALL this ends when global humanity are based on cooperation instead of competition... but still allows for healthy competition to build up the individuals into self responsible, educated, skilled, talented, progressive, etc. humans instead of mere consumers and those who have money...

@@AA-eq5wkI understand where you're coming from. I've spent countless hours on those same subjects. By models, I meant people or institutions or modes of being that you find to be going the direction that you feel is in line with your set of principles. You don't owe me any examples, was just asking.

Great point of view this is looking at it in a “big picture diagnoses”. I believe capitalism is the best system but it’s definitely flawed and I think you described it very well in its flaws.

@@ljv2094 the hard part is humans breaking away from believing that self worth is tied to the accumulation of things... once humans evolve to be able to "let go" easily and live for "less is more," humanity will be on a path to equality that is based on self responsibility rather than dependence to a corp/brands
