After Marxism, this felt necessary:
How to expand this image
If you press CTRL or Command and Plus (+) on your keyboard, your browser should increase the size of your page every time you do this. Press CTRL or Command and 0 (zero) key together to restore the screen to normal. I can get to at least 2 times the normal size by doing this.
How to download this image.
If you right-click the image, you should be given the option to download it to your computer. So long as you do so without a view to making a profit, you may do so without further permission. Commercial use requires consent. But if you just want to share it, do so with whoever and wherever you want. That is the purpose of these infographics.
The image library
We are planning a library of these images. It will be available soon.
AI use. In some way or other, I used AI in the creation of this post. I explain how I use that technology here. I also used a word processor, my brain. thinking time, coffee, discussion, and about 50 years of reading.
Thanks for reading this post.

Glad to hear about the library.
AI is fine when sub-editing text. you can always disagree with it.
The film maker Michael Moore described capitalism as ‘A system of giving and taking – mostly taking’.
An observation on the infographics – the people in them are all white.
To be more positive, I printed a select bundle out and handed them to my wife, who doesn’t read your blog but suffers my rants about politics and absorbs FTF 2nd hand. They prompted a good conversation, she’s a retired teacher. She liked them.
This is being corrected in some that are coming. I accept them point and will monitor it.
Another great infographic Richard (and team) – thanks.
The infographics are really good at summarising a topic, and focussing the mind. I’m really enjoying the series. Positive feedback from me …. thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up.
Another great summary Richard, but too dense I would say.
There are a lot of words on there, and the more words the harder it is to absorb the simple message.
And in a practical sense – even on 240% zoom with my specs on I struggled to read it on my laptop…
Noted
And how would you change it, apart from cutting words?
To answer that question properly I would actually have to have a go at it. Cutting words is the only idea at the moment but conceivably it might be possible to reduce the number of boxes…
Thanks again for a first rate tool for conversation, discussion, teaching, refuting etc.
Might capitalism be differentiated into different types, as exampled by:
1) Industrial capitalism
2) Financial capitalism
3) ?
,
Yes
Thank you Richard hugely. I will use it to further organise my thoughts. What do you think about a similar graphic that demonstrates cooperatives even as Pope Leo 14th Magnifica Humanitas Encyclical letter and the Pope Leo before him are alerting workers to form together in order to counter the multiple mechanisms for deliberate redistribution of wealth from the people to the extremely wealthy? Whether housing coops, water coops, utility coops, banking coops, consumer coops, farmers coops, food coops, recycled refuse tip shop coops, all business forms can redistribute wealth to the workers and consumers more equitably. I am grateful Pope Leo 14th even names the mechanisms of these gilded age robber barons. I am no fan of the Vatican as a tax haven btw, amid other hypocrisy!
Hi Richard,
Loving the infographics. I find them really useful and have been printing them off and creating a folder. Keep up the good work.
Mike
Thanks, Mike
Why no mention of capitalism +welfare in Denmark or Finland which works very well – these are the happiest rich countries.
But is exploitation ever a route to happiness? Couldn’t they be better? Or are they not capitalist already? Sweden is…
