People and Things

1. Makers - people who make things. People who work in the construction trades, craftsmen, artisans.
2. Hoarders - people who store things. People who run stores and warehouses.
3. Users - people who use things to get something done. People who use things that the makers made and the hoarders stored to get something else done.
4. Breakers - people who destroy things. Garbage men, demolition crews, soldiers, children.

Capitalism

When people talk about capitalism they talk about money as if they were the same thing. But capitalism isn't really about money, it's about working with people. A good idea and a pile of dough won't get you anywhere unless you can convince other people that your idea is a good one. Matter of fact, you don't even need a pile of dough. There are plenty of people with loads of money who are just looking for some place to invest it. All you need to do is convince them that your idea is a good one.
