I don't know why you think capitalism...@Simmons<br />I don't know why you think capitalism works in practice. Maybe because capitalism is oppressive in theory and in practice that is easily accomplished. Half the world's population are struggling to survive in shacks made of corrugated iron and you saying it works practice. If there is no better alternative we have to get to work and come up with a better alternative or civilization as we know it we come to an end.

In truth, the main reason Capitalism will fail is due to the Fiat currency the US created when Nixon removed itself from the gold standard.<br />Had Nixon left the system alone (assuming all subsequent Presidents also left it alone) we would have had more stable economic growth and the US wouldn't be in debt up to its eyeballs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19563652.post-19112141895420434432009-09-01T13:56:48.947-05:002009-09-01T13:56:48.947-05:00Capitalism is bloated and dysfunctional and is suf...Capitalism is bloated and dysfunctional and is suffering from a terminal condition known as greed.

Their perception of reality and of themselves, even their thoughts and feelings aren't real, it's all fake. Plastic people.<br />From time to time reality catches up with us, until the next denial or rationalization.<br />Capitalism has been around to long, people have internalized it to the fullest, they are not able to change anymore. The outlook is bleek, very bleek indeed. I'm not an optimist (can you tell?), rather a realist. Nah, we as humanity had our chance, now it is to late.

This theory has failed wherever it has been tried throughout the world. (It is always rescued by free market Capitalism – the natural law of economics!) Even in the U.S., all the Great Society welfare programs and neighborhood organizers have accomplished very little. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>America needs to train those on the “wrong side of the tracks” to get off their duffs and go to work. We must stop pushing liberal arts education (the luxury of the wealthy) on people who, instead, should be trained as hands-on engineers, machinists, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, practical-nurses, etc. The “good life” could be theirs if they would acquire the American work ethic and apply it consistently during their lifetime. ("Get up early . . . get to work an hour early and leave an hour late . . . do the best you can, everyday . . . treat people as you'd like to be treated . . . ask, believe, and receive with undoubting Faith . . . and good things will happen.")<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, our political system is broken and is spinning hopelessly out of control. A two year presidential campaign is ridiculous . . . to produce two candidates so objectively lacking in executive qualifications.

There are a number of alternative econimic models, which allow competition to help foster innovation. <BR/><BR/>An example, on a smaller scale, would be a government-provided health care system. The access to health care would be provided for everyone, with costs spread across everyone to lower the overall cost. Competition would still take place among anyone who wanted to make drugs, medical devices, or any other product that could be used within the health care system.<BR/><BR/>You might consider reading <A HREF="http://www.garalperovitz.com/" REL="nofollow">America Beyond Capitalism</A> by Gar Alperovitz. It's one among many books that offer workable alternative economic systems.<BR/><BR/>Our political system allows us to explore and adopt alternatives to exploitative versions of capitalism under which we now live.GDAEmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348919163462907583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19563652.post-64975383705656021482007-06-07T19:40:00.000-05:002007-06-07T19:40:00.000-05:00No political system is perfect, capitalism is just...No political system is perfect, capitalism is just the best.
