In previous article, I have written how capitalism is a pyramid scheme. The driving force of capitalism is the selfishness of individual or co-operation. Infact, the co-operation is a system where the values are generated for the sake of shareholders. If you consider Warren Buffet, his whole life is spent to increase the value of shareholders of Birkshire Hathway. He had been loyal in this respect, so was Charlie Munger.But they wouldn't care who gets poor. This form of capitalism is a pyramid scheme it is bound to collapse. As it merely widens the gap between rich and poor over time. If you want to know how, read my first article. But, to move forward and know what to do about it, take a look at following quote from "The Art of War".

"The greatest victory is that which requires no battle." Sun Tzu
You may not believe this as you would always think in selfish drive which forces us to survive. But, infact you can look at modern co-operation seems to be a mini version of such collection of selfish individuals, working against other co-operations. They are in constant push against each other to become the biggest shark. However, the best outcome comes, when the co-operation not only think about itself but the wellbeing of the customer. If that part is niglected, sooner or later the society will reject such co-operations. This is why every co-operation have a "outer smiling face" when they deal with customers. They atleast try to appear, humane as possbile. But, if these so called co-operation leaders understand that, in the long term the winners are the ones who never would need a battle, they could have co-operated with the society which it serves in the first place.
Consider a battle, inevitably if they fight, there would be a loss of lives and value in consumables. To both parties regardless of who wins. So, the great concquerers would rarther have no battle, so they can use the men and resources for the development instead. This is a question which have a mathematical answer as well. If you read about the "Game theory", the best outcome arise when everyone agrees to co-operate with each other, rarther than the betrayal. But, the most difficult part is to build enough trust with each other, that nobody would go against someone weaker and try to gain an advanced position over others.
In the modern world, I can see this happening in practical way. As countries advance in development, more and more they realise the value of peace. Even a battle in middle of nowhere in Madagascar would affect the global economy. So, everyone is pressing them to come to a peace deal. I see this as an evolution of collective human consciousness, one step toward the purity of God. Who knows, we might convince everyone in the world one day to be more peaceful, caring and co-operative as we see that would create greater future for our individual consciousness. Infact, humans are the ultimate creatures who harvested this power of being in a "Group". It helped us to build cities and smartphones, and crypto.

Co-operation in future capitalism
Sometimes, we just have to watch and wait. Trying to do something when it is not needed is going to cause more harm. Most importantly we need to identify that, even co-operation with enemy in simplest form is way better than a battle. So, when I say co-operation is the future of capitalism, it doesn't mean the co-operation of just few people in the society acting for selfish greed. It is meant to be everyone including the children who work in sugar cane factories in rural africa. If they do not benifit from the global economy, one day, they might declare a battle which can doom entire human consciousness. I do not think, the initiative should be a burden only should be carried by the government. Which is not sustainable by any means, unless modern co-operations understand this concept, they would fight against their own government in an eternal cold battle which will end in a revolution.
So, what do you think about victory without a battle?
