Chresmatism, Greed, Exploitation

Chresmatism is a crucial factor in Marx's analysis of Exploitation, elevating its harm to more than that of Greed.  The latter deprives another of their fair share, and, so, expresses either indifference or cruelty.  In Chresmatism, a Commodity functions as a Means to Profit, and Labor is a Commodity in the Capitalist ledger.  Hence, in Chresmatism, a worker is concretely de-humanized--the Midas touch, as Aristotle suggests, applied to humans--while cruelty feeds on the humanness of its victim, and indifference ignores it without negating it.  So, insofar as Capitalism is Chresmatistic, it systematically de-humanizes, though Marx tends to not focus on its harm to the beneficiary of Exploitation, perpetual dis-ease, as has been previously discussed.  Thus, the branding of Capitalists as advocating that 'Greed is Good' does not penetrate to the source of their ill.
