I love this tremendously informative essay on capitalism. It takes someone growing up without it, to appreciate it. As stated in the article, « It’s easy to take the Ritz Cracker for granted in the current era. After all the progress capitalism has enabled, we often forget how far we’ve come and what it took to make today’s world possible. But instead of looking down at our past, we ought to regard it with gratitude. Finding joy in the little things, as Depression-era consumers found in the Ritz Cracker, is a hallmark of wisdom » Others have lost their lives in search of the freedom I’m grateful for to be able to enjoy today.
