Question

Are satisfied with who you are and how you look? Could the capitalist economy survive if most you of us answered yes to this question? Why is the argument that we are the cause of our own unhappiness actually easier to swallow than the argument that problems may be rooted in the broader society? (Naiman, 2012, 152)

Answer 1

Capitalism is intrinsically futuristic. The ideas that underpin the market economies growth , accumulation, that tomorrow would be different and probably better than today.

This futuristic orientation is one of the striking hallmarksof modernity . Pre capitalist societies looked to the past to founding myths , old religions and ancenstral lines .

Capitalist societies look to the future to new innovations , broader horizons and greater abundance.

Opportunity and uncertainty go together . Critics of capitalism sometimes point out that it creates an uncertain future.

If the economy grows as a result of market capitalisation , we can predict with confidence that the future will he better than present.

We are the causes of our own unhappiness because we ourselves create problems in our lives by thinking or sometimes overthinking about them , rather if the problems are shared they can be solved easily with some help ,but people today want to be left alone and solve problems by themselves. So , the sole cause of unhappiness is we ourselves.
