    Except for the extreme start up costs required to start businesses and the regulations captured by big business in the system built around supporting big businesses who can simply drop prices until you collapse.

    There is no way to win from within the system.

      Obviously, loans still need to be taken out. But capital investment isn’t required, if your plan is to start small and build your business gradually. The point isn’t to “compete” with the scale of capitalism…but to provide an alternative that pays workers well enough to make a comfortable living. Nothing more is expected or required.
