The most dangerous thing about Capitalism is imho its universal equivalence, its ability to make us covert everything into a monetary value.

In other words, it’s just like a programming language where everything can be implicitly converted to a given top type.

In the progress we certainly made over the last century or so, we certainly also lost other things whose value is not representable in our modern value system.

What things? Are they more important than child mortality?

[asabil]

Why do things have to be comparable? Why did you cherry pick infant mortality? Yes reducing infants mortality is one of the things where we improved.

I’m not sure I’d ascribe that behavior to capitalism given it long predates capitalism.
