Americans Lose Faith That Hard Work Leads to Economic Gains, WSJ-NORC Poll Finds

Yeah... but in free market based economy if you can't swap your skills for money to swap for something you need what is the alternative?

If I just sit in YouTube all day how will I pay for my bills?

Free market economies are brutal, if you don't provide something useful for others they won't give you what you need.

Or even if you provide something useful, you can still not get the value you deserve because capitalist can create a monopoly and underpay you as you still need to eat.

Even in the smallest groups, like a small village or a hunter-gatherers in Africa the algorithm is the same.

Free markets usually aren't too prone to long-term monopolies. There are some parts where markets fail but most "monopolies" aren't because of market forces, but because of regulation.
