Teribus-the idea of exploitation for mutual gain is an oxymoron. The definition of exploitation prevents the exploitee from benefiting. The system doesn't work particularly well, as innumerable Gilded Age and modern Third world laborers could tell you. The capitalist system focuses on the profit of the individual, not the gain of society, and it shows. How else do you explain the ridiculous amounts of money thrown away on advertising so that one company can get a larger share of the market, with all of the costs passed on to the consumer?
