Comte’s sees communism as a moral doctrine. Could the same be true of capitalism? Is today’s capitalism best thought of as a theological, metaphysical, or positivist way of thinking and organizing the social world?
What will be an ideal response?
• With mounting evidence capitalism is not working toward either providing financial stability or benefiting the masses (think about stagnated class mobility), it would be difficult to argue positivism is what now sustains capitalism
• Capitalism today is largely embraced as a theology or a metaphysics, as it outlines a largely inaccurate perspective on social reality that is resistant to change largely because there is a resistance to accept the shortcomings of free markets.
