The YouTube video "Why Capitalism Works" seems to provide a compelling case for why capitalism is beloved by many Americans. Yet from a Marxian perspective, the video fails to address a flawed aspect of the capitalist enterprise.

What basic solution would it offer to enhance the quality of workers' lives?

Originating in Western Europe, this economic system was based on capital accumulation, the spread of markets, and the exploitation of labor. This latter idea was based on the notion that labor is the source of all value in the production process, but labor is only recompensed part of that value, in the form of wages; the rest goes to the owner of the capital as profit Under the capitalist mode of production, profit comes from the exploitation of human labor.

- Capitalism has accomplished many different things. While in the past, if you were a member of a lower class and poor, you would have most likely stayed there forever. Thanks to capitalism, those individuals are now able to improve financial situations by creating a business, a product, etc. Capitalism also encourages competition, which means that various areas, such as technology, are always improving in an effort to be better than the other competition. This competition also allows for a lot of innovation. We are constantly being presented with new products or companies that are delving into a market that hasn't yet been explored. However, I don't feel that the future prospects of capitalism will be as beneficial for the general public as they were in the past. It is much harder for smaller companies to stay afloat.
