Capitalism shifted us away from that "dog eat dog" mindset—suddenly, growth was possible for everyone. What do you think? Have we fully embraced this mindset, or do people still struggle with seeing prosperity as something to be shared rather than fought over? #CapitalismMatters #FreeMarkets #EconomicFreedom
