Does Capitalism Exploit Workers?

 



Is increasing the power of the state the best way to reduce exploitation of those under-represented or vulnerable in society? After all, the only entity that has the force of law behind their ability to extract money from the citizens is the government.  Private companies and corporations only have the ability to present an offer that is mutually beneficial to both the worker and the company as a whole.  If both conditions are not met, no deal will take place and neither party will reap the benefits they have to offer one another because both sides have the freedom to choose what they do given the opportunity to make such a deal.  However, if a government institutes a law restricting either party of that freedom, one is left to wonder who is actually exploiting either side of the deal.
