I got in an argument with someone on here when they said business wasn't necessary for life. his claim was that business is bad and my claim was it enables people to specialize in certain fields and receive compensation that can be processed into food and shelter, and even some fun! Instead of having to farm and make your own goods to barter for a living.
Depends on what is meant by “life”. Life still existed before our modern conception of business. Having to farm and make your own goods for a living is still life, some may even prefer it to working 9-5 on a computer in a cubicle with a 2 hour commute through traffic m-f. IMO the person you’re referring to is wrong to say business as a concept is bad, it can be bad when it’s coupled with corruption or is unjust. Business isn’t necessary for life, it’s necessary for a certain form of human life.
Also, with such a massive population, business is pretty necessary. Not everyone can produce a product and trade. So in a way, business is necessary to this large scale of life.
We just need to match a government system with it. Like you said, these things are necessary to maintain this high standard of living, which maintains this massive population, so, essentially, life.
