An economic system predicated on the private ownership and trade of property for the purpose of generating a profit surplus.

The graph falls apart at the loop. It neglects the existence of valuable products that come at great expense to the labourer but generates a profitable output.

Consider, for instance, coal mining. Hard to convince people to just do this for fun. But it has generated enormous profits for over a century. Same with tobacco and cotton farming.
