The Cost of Capitalism
This striking cartoon depicts a large, towering figure labeled “Capitalism” standing atop a precarious pile of money and financial documents. The figure, with a stern and imposing presence, casts a long shadow over a smaller, struggling individual below, who is visibly burdened and overshadowed. The imagery conveys the overwhelming dominance and influence of capitalism, illustrating how it can create disparity and exert control over individuals. The pile of money symbolizes the financial pressures and inequalities often associated with capitalist systems. The cartoon serves as a critique of how capitalism can concentrate wealth and power while leaving others grappling with its consequences, urging a reflection on the balance between economic systems and human impact.
