The relief of responsibility is a cornerstone that shapes capitalist market societies and manifests itself in three central aspects of this economic order: free wage labor, limited liability corporations, and market exchange. Free wage labor is a defining feature of capitalism, in which human labor is exchanged for monetary compensation. However, historical evidence shows that employers have often neglected their responsibilities to their workers, subjecting them to harsh and deplorable working conditions. This has led to government intervention in the form of legislation and social safety nets, effectively transferring responsibility to the state. Limited liability companies offer shareholders protection from personal liability, even in the event of corporate malfeasance. This allows for rapid capital expansion and economic growth in capitalist market economies, but it also shifts the burden of associated risk to society as a whole. Market exchange, characterized by bilateral transactions for mutual benefit, generates externalities that affect third parties. Examples include the consequences of environmental degradation and social inequality resulting from market exchange. In capitalist market societies, the relief of responsibility has a pervasive influence. It is important to be aware of this fundamental principle and its implications so that we can work to create a more just and equitable society.
