Off to Work

A foundational principle of Capitalism is that money can work. To turn ideas into reality, you need capital and containers. One form of container is Public Equity. An idea is turned into a legal person called a company. That company can make agreements. Which means “it” can make and sell stuff. If it is public equity, it means slices of ownership are sold on a stock market. This means you can put your money to work in any publicly listed company (if you find the price acceptable). Money carries less baggage than people. It does not have to deal with sexism, homophobia, racism, or xenophobia. For the most part, if the container (country) you were born in lets you move your money around the world, you can put it to work anywhere (without a job interview and someone projecting their insecurities onto you in a selection process). Capital is much more yogic than people. Yoga is the idea that everything is connected. It is people that we force into prefabricated ideas about what they can and cannot do. It is people’s worth we struggle to see. With money, what you do is much more important than any prejudices.
