THEY STILL PLAYING "BLAME THE POOR” GAME
Commentary on video from “Diary of A CEO”
But seriously, can we have 64 million entrepreneurs in the British neo-feudal economic system?
The idea that poverty is solely the result of a lack of hard work or entrepreneurial spirit oversimplifies a complex issue. While individual effort can contribute to financial success, systemic factors play a significant role in determining economic outcomes. Many people in essential professions, such as healthcare workers, teachers, and retail employees, work tirelessly yet struggle to make ends meet. Meanwhile, wealth is often accumulated passively by those who own assets or inherit fortunes, demonstrating that effort alone does not dictate financial success.
The reality is that not everyone can or should be an entrepreneur. Societies function because of a balance of roles—workers, educators, healthcare providers, and public servants all contribute to economic and social stability. Even those who achieve entrepreneurial success rely on publicly funded infrastructure, education, and healthcare. The notion that wealth is solely earned through individual merit ignores the interconnectedness of modern economies and the necessity of collective contributions.
Wealth distribution has become increasingly skewed, with the richest 1% owning more than the bottom half of the global population combined. This growing inequality is not a natural byproduct of hard work but rather the result of policies that favor capital accumulation, corporate lobbying, tax loopholes, and financial systems that prioritize profits over fair wages. While productivity has risen over the decades, wages have not kept pace, meaning workers create more value but receive a shrinking share of the economic benefits.
Human societies have historically thrived on cooperation rather than pure individualism. Early human communities survived by working together, sharing resources, and ensuring collective well-being. Even in modern economies, businesses depend on a stable workforce, consumers, and public services. The claim that life has always been about “every man for himself” ignores this deep history of cooperation. When too much wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few, social instability follows, leading to economic crises, declining living standards, and unrest.
While personal ambition and hard work are important, they do not exist in a vacuum. A fair and functioning society balances individual success with collective well-being. Ignoring systemic inequalities in favor of simplistic narratives about personal responsibility risks reinforcing a system where the majority struggle while a small elite prospers. Addressing these disparities requires recognizing that success is not just about personal effort but also about the structures that shape economic opportunity.
