Ethics Capitalism: A Love Story 1. The opening sequences of Capitalism: A Love Story makes it look like we are living in the Ancient Rome days. The song is playing and they are flashing scenes from the Roman days and then out current days.

Karl Marx’s claim that capitalism is important to human development but must be overcome and a system put into place that would eventually evolve into communism is unrealistic. Although the idea of communism‚ a social system designed to promote a classless society where everyone is truly equal and social problems such as racism‚ sexism and oppression do not exist‚ would be favourable to a capitalist society‚ it is unachievable as it doesn’t comprehend an individuals personal desire‚ the labour classes

So in communism you would get only what you need to live. That means that if there was a family of four and then a family of two‚ then the family of four would get
