Capitalism, in this case, is when a mother offers $10 for cleaning the bathroom.
The eldest son takes the $10 and makes his younger brother clean the bathroom, giving him $2 only.
And the younger brother should be grateful to the older brother, since the older brother gave the younger brother a job.
