Nobody has seen it.
It died decades ago.
Capitalism is responsible for more improvement than any other system.
Everyone needs to read
Creature from Jekyll island.
At least check out G. Edward Griffin you tubes on the federal reserve.
Jog, we have gone round and round on this before, you and I.
I respect your insights and opinions on many things, but again buddy, and I will only offer this once, as I know we will never agree, or make that, I will never side with your absolute view on this subject.
Yes, capitalism has proven the
TRUTH that it affords the most people the opportunity to improve on their life lot.
I will example firsthand, how I saw folks born into the mess of Asia, come to the states, hired by Boeing, thriving and prospering by their OWN hard work, to a lifestyle they could not fathom, only dreaming about......
They shared with me their return home on vacations, and their sharing with those still in Asia, and the awe those folks have in the telling of their stories.
It is breathtaking, as well as humbling, when you compare it with much of the "guilt" that many try and hang on those Whites, conservatives, etc, who do well in America today.
However, not every body, person can rise to such self sufficiency, nor is every employer, business, playing "fair."
A goverment needs to provide and regulate many things in order to have the best opportunity for the most, a foundation, if you will, for all to build upon that is as static as possible.....
And that includes currency, as it is the instrument of "barter" for us to commence in commerce.
And finally, as a democracy, so many things are NOT static, but change with times, and invention, the INTERNET being a great example, or pharmaceuticals.....
If these two products were truly allowed to "gouge" the consumer for a maximum profit, it could, and I say would, have a adverse effect on many who could not afford to participate in the benefits of capitalism.
I know you believe currency manipulation was more sinister, I just disagree, not in total, but in theory, as with ANYTHING man has done in this world, greed has been a motivating factor for many, even in communism, socialism, too, as those who are in control of distribution ALWAYS see that THEIR plates are filled first.
The only person I know of who did NOT fall to this temptation was a hippie named Jesus
