Answer to Question 1

Capitalism may have persisted because it has changed significantly since Marx's time.

Individual capitalists no longer own and control factories and other means of

production today, ownership and control have largely been separated. For example,

contemporary transnational corporations are owned by a multitude of stockholders but

are run by paid officers and managers. Similarly, many (but by no means all) workers

have experienced a rising standard of living, which may have contributed to a feeling of

complacency. During the twentieth century, workers pressed for salary increases and

improvements in the workplace through their activism and labor union membership.

They also gained more legal protection in the form of workers' rights and benefits such

as workers' compensation insurance for job-related injuries and disabilities. For these

reasons, and because of a myriad of other complex factors, the workers' revolution

predicted by Marx has not come to pass.
