Thanks for the correction. I'm made the update in the description part of this video. I don't think, however, that there is a way to update the video without losing the current tracking info.

you blame corporations for employing children, why don't you blame their parents who sends children to work?

[rsobies]

you are right, so don't blame corporations for givng money to survive.

He was not conservative at all, he was liberal, a self-acclaimed liberal.

There has never been a good argument against capitalism which is simply the right for a human being to own their own home, land, businesses, product, and copyright [not another person]. The arguments are against poor government regulation and lack of fair access to the private sector via good education and low taxation.

if there was no corporate or business entity not there , that source of work, which is a source, an addition, an opportunity if anything to work and maybe at better conditions of easily making shitty brand name clothes instead of whatever they did or might do otherwise. i just think you guys dont like the whole idea of 'work' to begin with. id kill for a job.. literally.

government regulation has mostly been, through out history, ineffective.

government law on the other hand, has always been effective and also necessary.

Milton's idealogy often seemed too extreme. I wonder what he would say about the carbon emission problem we're facing, which is a negative externality.

You've missed one: "Oh shit, it's going to crash!"

[D0g63rt]

He expressly states that he is not conservative, because that is in favor of keeping things the same, of "conserving" the principles of the time. He said he is a traditional liberal, or a libertarian. You have labeled him improperly here.

I think many are missing the point....

Corporations that are "GOVERNMENT sponsored" cause the MOST EVIL"

[HerrSchenkel]

Who put families in the position that forced them to require children to work?

Nature did. In many of these countries, sweatshops are their best option. They came from rural areas where they had to rake the mud, and the sweatshop is far better in comparison. workers requests that more are opened so that their family can have jobs. Of course, you can try to prevent the children from working, but the children will turn to other things to survive...mainly prostitution.

i am sure that in future (in 100 years or more) people will talk about our present standard of living in the same way as we talk about life 100 years ago. we cant require from XIX corporations to provide employees simillar labor conditions as we have now.
