Ah, Adam Smith.. ... ( 4 months ago by chuckkottke)
Ah, Adam Smith.. One problem with laissez fair capitalism is that it assumes markets will automatically correct their own bad behavior (the buyer's will switch when the product is bad), and it assumes loose markets are better than regulated markets. But, I believe oversight is necessary, because without it, the roller-coaster ride can be self-destructive (Enron anyone?).Better to have an honest government, to set fair rules, and have oversight. An economic engine ungoverned will self-destruct.
Define "bad ... ( 4 months ago by ForABetterTomorrow)
Define "bad behavior".
The proper role of the government in the market is to enforce contracts and determine what constitutes a contract. Capitalism does not mean that companies can for example willingly use poisonous substances in their products without warning the consumer.
That capitalism will self-destruct is an unfounded claim.
On the other hand all government controlled economies have sooner or later self-destructed.

LIE! no matter how ... ( 2 months ago by dianitapilla)
LIE! no matter how good your government is, in the end you are the consumer. it is YOUR responsibility to choose right what you buy. For example, if i put a $ 0,40 and a $1,30 bananas in front of you which one would you choose?
people (even in switzerland) keep buying chiquita's fruit knowing all the misery, war, and exploitation of people and nature they cause, instead of buying from fair trade companies (which end up also exploiting people in a + resposible way)they buy 3 intead of 1.
gtz!

1)who said that? what we're talking about is sensitive consumerism. we're talking about farmers markets over supermarkets. we're talking about where we must have corporations to deliver us goods we can't get locally, we must have controls & a consciousness.
2)tell that to the people on the production side of everything you frivolously buy
3)drugs are bad

capitalism destructs when wealth consolidates. Consolidated wealth via hedgefunds and derivative schemes moves markets, bankrupts banks, goes to war and spins media coverage.

capitalism can be ... ( 2 months ago by yahlers)
capitalism can be undermined by consolidated wealth, and the power that consolidated wealth can have on industries, including banking, as we're seeing. Hedge funds are unregulated and a form of consolidated wealth moving markets and affecting industries. Capitalism isn't the greatest thing on the planet when you consider its premise of consumption. The hippies did have one thing right.
- Capitalism is a ... ( 2 months ago by ForABetterTomorrow)
- Capitalism is a political system wher the state recognizes the right of the individual for the fruits of his labor and for the right to use his property (and his body) as he wishes (if he does not violate the property rights of other individuals).
So how can such a system be "underminded" except by a collective will (i.e. politics) to no longer recognize individual rights?
- The premise of Capitalism is production
In theory, ... ( 2 months ago by yahlers)
In theory, production and distribution in a capitalist system are governed by the free market rather than state regulation (WIKI). There is no need for either if there is no use of the end product via consumption.
Technically its an econ not poli system. The reality is that domestic economic policy is dictated by the Federal Reserve and subsequent corporatism dictating what is available for consumption, and their lobbyists pumping money into politics undermine democracy.
In theory ... ( 2 months ago by ForABetterTomorrow)
In theory production and distribution are governed by the owner.
Technically capitalism IS a political system because it restricts the government's ability to use force against individuals and their property.
The current system (in any country including the US) is a mixed system, not Capitalism. There shouldn't be a Federal Reserve bank in the first place.

I'm glad someone else is noticing the way human intelligence seems to be going!
WhosChase definately has a massive IK, and will konker the World with his Playstacion mates, by the way I loved Idicracy, but I think it might have a true point.
P.S in case he doesn't get it IK, konker and Playstacion is taking the piss(taken from the Oxfurd Koncis Diktionary,25th Century edition).
