What makes capitalism truly remarkable? The answer to this question can be found in the various examples we encounter daily. It is fascinating and sometimes frightening to realize that almost everything in a capitalist society can be converted into capital. Let’s take a closer look.
1. The Endless Possibilities of Capitalism
In a capitalist society, you might wonder, “Can even this be converted into capital?” The answer is often yes, it can. For example, think about a situation where you need to transfer a date spot. Normally, you wouldn’t think this could be converted into capital. But in a capitalist society, even this can be turned into capital.
Of course, such examples are not common. However, in a capitalist society, the fact that even these can sometimes be converted into money is interesting. If everything has value in the market, it has the potential to be turned into money.
2. The Ultimate Capitalist Example: The United States
In the United States, often seen as the ultimate example of capitalism, even prisons become the subject of REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). In a country with a high crime rate relative to its population, prison REITs are a noteworthy business model.
3. A World Where Everything Can Be a Business
This example, showing that even a date spot can be sold for 35,000 KRW in a capitalist society, demonstrates that anything with market value can be turned into money and become a business. This means that even things you never imagined can become a business. Ultimately, only those who can convert what others haven’t thought of into capital succeed, and these successful individuals live wealthy lives.
Conclusion: Looking from a New Perspective
Instead of thinking, “Wow, they sell even that for money?”, it’s important to change your perspective to seeing it as, “Even that can be sold for money.” In a capitalist society, remember that anything has the potential to become a business.
The endless possibilities of capitalism provide us with various opportunities and make us realize that nothing is beyond being converted into capital. Seize these opportunities and start a successful business today!
