Abstract

This chapter discusses possible objections to the radical reform of capitalism proposed in the previous chapter. The objections might relate to the seemingly utopian character of the proposed reform, might result from the paradigm of predominantly neoliberal economics (while this paradigm does not include an understanding of possible impacts of positive feedbacks), might argue that precariat is a new and untested concept, etc. The Author argues, however, that enterprises are needed in a country mainly for providing working places, and if they do not perform accordingly to this ethical obligation, they should be forced to do so by a suitable taxation system. The proposed reform is obviously a kind of a hybrid of socialism and capitalism, with a market-oriented version of the universal right of work; but most of serious writings about the future of capitalism require such a hybrid solution. The proposed reform cannot be introduced without an international agreement, but such an agreement is needed in order to prevent the danger of annihilation of human intelligence on Earth.
