Yeah, that's the thing. It's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to quantify or understand just exactly what has been taken from us by capitalism.

It's kind of like how it's difficult to grasp how much $1 billion is. It's hard to grasp just how much value has been extracted from workers and local communities because of unfettered capitalism.
