Description
capitalism is bad.
I am going to define badly as something that has consequences against human well-being and capitalism as a free market.
Round 1
Forfeited
A free market is one where any two parties can make a deal with terms they chose themselves. The alternative is a market where people are left with few economic options because some external force infringes on their economic freedom, preventing them from making deals that they want to make.
Nearly every country in the world is capitalistc, because it has proven itself. Free trade is they key to economic growth and the subsequent reising living standards.
Round 2
Forfeited
FF!
It is probably due to my poor command of English, however, what I was referring to is that I am defining capitalism as a free market.
So... Pro is arguing that Capitalism is both bad for humanity and... capitalism and free market? The latter is literally being endorsed by capitalism itself, regardless if humanity accepts it or not.
You need to actually define the terms in your ''resolution''
