I generally agree with the principle of what you’re saying in a philosophical sense. However, there are also some empirical truths to contend with. People typically don’t like radical change, people are prone to impulsive errors in judgement (‘system 1 thinking’), an impulsive mistake with guns has far greater implications than an impulsive mistake without guns. So while yes there is a big cultural change that needs to happen, in practice you have to make small changes that marginally lead society towards a better culture.

The Telegraph has always been a conservative broadsheet newspaper in the UK so it wouldn’t surprise me, it’s basically the opposite of The Guardian

I don’t know whether they are idiots or just that they know most people are even bigger idiots

I mean that’s the cynical view largely based on how conditions in mainly one particular country have developed sure, but it’s not philosophically what economics is about (which is allocating resources in a utility maximising way)

The problem is that in theory the workers also are supposed to own the factories and get a slice of the profits. This is what shares are for. Unfortunately, in practice, a larger and larger chunk of people seem to be getting excluded from that bit.
