Compare and contrast the different ways that Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Émile Durkheim understood capitalism, in terms of its effects on society, the features they emphasized, and the reasons people work
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Adam Smith argued that capitalism was not only about selfish individual striving for gain, but also a great deal of cooperation and struggles over fairness and justice. He believed people within capitalism work for the satisfaction of working.
2. Karl Marx argued that capitalism is essentially defined by who owns the means of production (the upper class) and who must therefore work for them. He saw this as a divisive class conflict in which the upper class gets the satisfaction of ownership while the working class works out of necessity.
3. Émile Durkheim argued that in modern society, we are all interdependent and the economy is a unifying force. He used the term “organic solidarity” to describe the way our fates are bound together.
