I’m looking for your deepest abstracted definition of the history and political nuance, the philosophical, the ethics, the evolved and historical meaning, and the meaningful impact it has had in evolving political structures and systems.

This is not ELI5, or a dumb question like “What is the stock market,” /s… It is a question of dumb contexts like: what is it really under the surface, or what is it in your opinion, or what is it in principal, or what is it used for as a justification for other parts of society?

    I like the way you framed the request. Too bad the answers are either waaaaaay too long wall of texts, uninformative zingers or bitter jokes.

    Here’s my attempt.

    1. A tool that allows a detached involvement with capitalistic production fueled by the individualistic drive for more wealth.

    2. A way for entrepreneurs to chase the myth of permanent growth beyond the limitations of fisical assets.

    3. A dangerous all compassing framework for our values that has no positive connection with the material condition of humankind.

      Thanks.

      Opinions of all types are welcome, as are the verbose. I read them all.
