Failure of Capitalism

Cause Capitalism is about more than just making a profit. It’s about making a difference and leaving a positive impact on the world.

As the founder and CEO of the Goat Foundation and Financially Fit LLC, I have seen firsthand the challenges that the traditional capitalist system presents. The pursuit of profits has led to environmental degradation, widening wealth gaps, and the exploitation of vulnerable communities. The belief that capitalism benefits society is a fallacy, and I strongly advocate for a more sustainable alternative. That is why I created the Cause Capitalism philosophy, which offers a solution to these problems by aligning the interests of for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations to create a positive impact on society.

The Goat Foundation is just one example of the positive impact that can be made through Cause Capitalism.

Capitalism, as it exists today, is heavily dependent on the exploitation of natural resources. The drive for profits has led to the destruction of ecosystems, the depletion of natural resources, and the emission of greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change.

Exploitative Agenda

The capitalist model prioritizes profits over sustainability, and this is evident in the practices of the fossil fuel and extractive industries, which have caused widespread environmental destruction and social injustice.

Furthermore, capitalism has widened the wealth gap between the rich and the poor, with the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer. The unequal distribution of wealth has led to a situation where a small number of people control the majority of resources and wealth, while a large percentage of the population lives in poverty and lacks access to basic needs such as food, water, and healthcare. This inequality is perpetuated by the economic policies and laws that benefit the wealthy while exploiting the working class.

In addition, capitalism often leads to the exploitation of vulnerable communities, including workers and indigenous peoples. The pursuit of profits often results in the exploitation of workers, who are paid low wages and work in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. Multinational corporations often exploit the resources of indigenous peoples and their lands, leading to displacement and loss of traditional ways of life. This exploitation is perpetuated by the global economic system, which prioritizes the interests of corporations over those of local communities.

Capitalism With a Cause:

By partnering with non-profit organizations, for-profit businesses can contribute to the greater good, while still achieving their financial goals.

That is why I created the Cause Capitalism philosophy, which offers a solution to these problems. Under this model, for-profit businesses partner with non-profit organizations to pledge a percentage of their gross income for the non-profit’s charitable work. This partnership is not a gimmick, but a true and sustainable partnership. By partnering with non-profit organizations, for-profit businesses can contribute to the greater good, while still achieving their financial goals.

Empower your community with financial literacy skills to achieve long-term stability and prosperity.

An example of this model in action is my company, Financially Fit LLC, which offers financial literacy education. We have partnered with the Goat Foundation to give hope to widows by providing them with goats. This partnership aligns the interests of the for-profit business with the non-profit organization, creating a win-win situation for both parties. The business benefits from the goodwill generated by its charitable work, while the non-profit organization benefits from the financial support provided by the business.

Kinder More Compassionate Form of Capitalism

In conclusion, the traditional capitalist system is contributing to environmental degradation, widening wealth gaps, and exploiting vulnerable communities. The Cause Capitalism philosophy offers a solution to these problems by aligning the interests of for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations to create a positive impact on society. This model offers a sustainable solution that benefits both the business and society, and it is a model that should be embraced and replicated.
