Capitalism has proven to be a successful advancement in global economy and trade. (Knox, P., & Agnew, 1989, ch. 1-3). Although Capitalism provided…

There can also be changes to the basic way you extrapolate data to determine how your operations are running. We used to keep track of production data on paper, it was inefficient at best and lacked the timeliness to react in order to prevent problems from occurring. We needed something newer and more accurate in order for our business to survive. My previous company, a small manufacturing operation, was stuck in the past.

simply tapping on their screen. Recently, Uber Company is undergoing waves of protests from drivers of UberX, a subdivision service of Uber in which drivers use their own vehicles. Drivers contend that they are earning much less than the company claims. This paper will first examine Adam Smith’s theory of the division of labor in the successful business model of UberX, and then apply Marx & Engels’s perspective to the wealth gap between the company and its drivers.

From the production of fear to advance capital gain as described by Naomi Kline’s work, Mills explains how the notion of capitalism describes the modern man. His classification is the homo Oecnomicus, a form of human who only looks out for himself at the expense of everyone else to reach ultimate gain. In that sense, the creation of the other to maintain the production line of labor as later argued through Marx, reflects the dehumanization and exploitation of the worker. Such belief and…
