Summarize

"Market forces are the fundamental dynamics that govern the supply and demand of goods and services within an economy. These forces include factors like competition, consumer preferences, technological advancements, and government regulations. In a free-market system, prices are determined by these forces, influencing the allocation of resources.

In a capitalist structure, power dynamics are shaped by the ownership and control of the means of production.

The bourgeoisie, as owners of capital and productive resources, control the economic forces that drive society. This ownership allows them to accumulate wealth and exert influence over the production and distribution of goods and services. They are in possession of tools that is lend to the  working class in order to make money in exchange of a wage.

The bourgoisie, as employers, extract surplus value from the labor of the working class. This exploitation contributes to the accumulation of capital and the perpetuation of class distinctions.

The concept of  private property, central to capitalist structures, empowers the bourgeoisie to accumulate and pass down wealth through generations. This concentration of property contributes to the perpetuation of social and economic inequalities.

These concepts are the economical structure of capitalism, called the base. The economic base is foundational, shaping and influencing the development of the superstructure.

The superstructure is the influence of the bourgoisie to all non-economic institutions such as government, media, and education. Through lobbying, campaign financing, and other mechanisms, they shape policies that often favor their economic interests, contributing to the maintenance of their power.

This also create an ideological hegemony where the ruling class shapes perceptions and acceptance of the existing economic system.  Exploitation is now seen as a norm because education and cultural values emphatize on hard work, loyalty to employers, and the acceptance of authority.

This base and superstructure model is however not complete, as they can't fully explain all of society. There are other forms of oppression of social categories such as race, gender, and sexuality. Because of that, the base-superstructure model is not  determinist.

As capitalism evolved, corporations emerged as powerful entities, leading to the rise of corporatocracy. Large corporations began to exert significant influence over economic and political spheres, shaping policies to favor their interests, causing exploitation of resources and cheap labor in other regions contributes to the perpetuation of global economic inequalities and environmental degradation.

 Oligopolistic structures often emerge as a result of mergers, acquisitions, and the global expansion of corporations seeking to dominate markets on an international scale. This leads to less competition, less innovation and more stable prices in order to avoid price wars that could erode their profits.

ndividuals generally seek liberty and the pursuit of happiness but there are many perspectives on what constitutes true freedom :

Capitalists view economic liberty as a way to fulfill one's desire. They see the ability to own, use and trade money without authority in the market as essential to individual freedom.
Marxists view freedom when a society is classless, moneyless and stateless. This way there is no exploitation of one self to another.
Mutualists view freedom as voluntary cooperation among individuals. It oppose hierarchical structures like a state and *usually* promote a decentralized free-market."
