    This need a updating some. The business owner did not sell products to buy machines. He borrowed the money from a financier.

    “Where did the financier get the money?”

    “By financing many business owners.”

    “And where’d they get the money for that?”

    “A combination of conquest, slavery, and exploitation going back to the beginning of time.”

    There’s probably a more intelligent, nuanced version of this and I welcome corrections.
