I have been working since I was 8. My first business started out as a lemonade stand but when the local office building was more interested in buying ice, I went into the ice business. I used the profits from the business to buy more ice trays and was supplying some of the people at the studio across the street. Child "exploitation"? I was having fun and making money. I still get paid for having fun.

fuedal backwater: modern state etc

The population increased by 400 million under Mao!

@njanovic1980 public schools bring social advancement? since when? HAHHAA you made my day. A kid learns real things in work for a lifetime, instead of wasting time at a schoolbench.

Anyway, corporations are responsible before their shareholders. And shareholders want PROFIT, or they sell stock and corp goes bust. You want a multinational to pay adults better? Buy enough stock to influence the decisions of its CEO, cut his pay. He'll leave then, so maybe you can replace him. Cheers!

@Arjozof How about multinationals paying the adults better so the kids can go to school, its education that brigns social advancement. Of course that means some CEO would have to do with a few less million every year and that would just be a horrible tragedy wouldn't it?

@DORFMONT A lemonade stand is a bit different from a sweat shop packed with 8 year olds or the days when 10 year olds were sent down into the coal mines.

it's pretty funny that you use your leisure time- provided by capitalism-, cheap and affordable camera-provided by capitalism-, many centuries of tecnological advancements -provided by capitalism- and them go bicthing against it. LOL. People and society in general don't born rich. They have to earn it, to get to that position. Your 11 minutes (of lost time) is just a very silly, non logical, fallacious crossing stupid take at the mises perspect. Stop trowing dysentery to our faces. Study logic..

of course it's better to let the child starve to death than to employ him. or let the parent starve to death in order for the child to survive - and then starve to death too. It's logical that an aggressionist would prefer it to child labour.

@DORFMONT

Did you come from the middle class? How many hours did you work a day? Did you live in a third world country? Were you still able to go to school?

[abskebabs]

@juliaisafilmbuff123 The state controlled the greater part of the means of production, especially what were then referred to as the "commanding heights", with private enterprise quite restricted while heavily strangulated by a labyrinthine amount of red tape not coincidentally referred to as the "License Raj"(replacing the British Raj). A very good book on this economic history and the reforms of the early 1990s if you're genuinely interested is Gurcharan Das' India Unbound.

@abskebabs India was socialist? Did workers control the means of production?

[ArmednSafe]

@Entropy137 Oh, well I guess I just bolstered your argument.

[Entropy137]

@ArmednSafe Why are you telling me that? Tell him. I was asking a rhetorical question.
