By: badmuffy. on 19 Nov 08, 00:25:42
We never truly had capitalism? well maybe not if we did we would be a third world country like Haiti. No public schools, libraries nothing. And I find it very funny that the US automakers are now going bankrupt because they say they cant compete with European automakers who thanks to universal health care dont have the burden of paying for their workers benefits like we do. So I guess capitalism is not so great for the economy after all.

By: richi1173. on 12 Nov 08, 15:31:05
The first step to producing goods is lowering the losses of making those goods. Strengthen the dollar by upping interest rates so our money is more powerful will lead to increase spending and net gains for businesses. The Fed opposes this because it will reduce the volume of stocks. Talk about catering for the 1%.

By: the1337k1ng. on 12 Nov 08, 15:26:23
You can't "just let people spend again". First, you have to produce and export goods, then you will be able to start consuming again with the earnings from this export.

By: lumpagogo. on 09 Nov 08, 23:27:45
Capitalism is a Ponzi Scheme; it must have 3.5 kids per family just to break even (more houses, furniture, appliances, baby clothing and all the other junk we consume. Corporatists hate abortion, not because they are pro-life, but but because they see it as a potential dagger thru the heart of their 400-year reign-of-maximized-profits.

By: McOath. on 07 Nov 08, 23:15:15
Well first off you can look up Resource-Based Economy, then cause that's a bit crazy utopian you can look up Parecon, and then you can end your day with some Permaculture. I personally support Parecon. So there are just off the top of my head not 1 but 3 systems that would be a marked improvement over capitalism, and there are even more out there if you look alittle.

By: richi1173. on 07 Nov 08, 21:39:39
Capitalism in itself is flawed, but we never fully had capitalism. Is it the best economic model that we have, yes it is. Also, it depends on what capitalism means for you. Finally, what are you suggesting as a replacement?

That really doesn't ...
By: McOath. on 07 Nov 08, 20:10:15
That really doesn't answer my question, which was rhetorical if anything. I'm actually suggesting that even theoretical capitalism is deeply flawed and un desirablel for human beings as a mode of production.

How to fix the ...
By: richi1173. on 07 Nov 08, 19:35:30
How to fix the problem: Get the middle-class wealthy and spending again. The Fed cannot fix, no matter how much it devalues the dollar, the crash of stocks because all corporate gains are directly influenced by consumer demand. In fact, its only making the problem worse, creating inflation which is literally clogging the engine of the system- the middle-class. Get us back on our feet through stimulus and strengthening the dollar and you will see things get back to normal in about two years.

To your last ...
By: richi1173. on 07 Nov 08, 19:28:46
To your last question, not really. Capitalism allows for the gain and subsequent saving of capital by individuals and states in order for it to be used in times of crises. However, from theory to practice it is quite different, it largely depends on the individual's education on how to safely manage that capital. That capital can be money or commodities, which I would highly recommend buying because the dollar has been d-evaluating.

By: gforceforever. on 04 Nov 08, 13:40:44
What will you do? What CAN you do? Ask yourself those questions each day before you arise, and perhaps you will "see" more than you wish to. God speed to a viable position where you can actually help others help themselves. So, are you planning a career in politics? There are places for the idealistic. Oh, perhaps a liberal education is what you seek, full of promise and diversion away from the painful truth...

By: gforceforever. on 04 Nov 08, 13:39:25
I do hate to throw books at you, but I believe the appropriate response to you is just that; please see Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind. In it, you may discover the essence of why my attitude is less than optimistic with regard to your generation. I am, in fact, an educator. I see Gen X doing exactly what the media wants you to do -- nothing. I implore you to gather colleages and classmates to dicuss your plan to thwart the control that is exerted over you quietly.

By: gforceforever. on 03 Nov 08, 16:54:00
See Ayn Rand's philosophies, as well as Milton Friedman's (Nobel Prize winner) economics novels. Be advised that we do not have a democracy, either! Pure democracy is ONE-MAN/ONE-VOTE. We have a representative form of government. Something tells me that if you do not already know these facts, it is too late to educate you on them. What a sad state of affairs our country is in!

By: gforceforever. on 03 Nov 08, 16:51:31
AMERICA DOES NOT ENTERTAIN CAPITALISM! Capitalism is a laizze faire approach to economics, whereby there are NO GOVERNMENTAL CONTROLS on the system. America has a highly-controlled economic system in place, and has never committed to capitalism.

By: McOath. on 02 Nov 08, 18:25:15
so having defined the current system as not capitalism, What the hell is capitalism and how does it magically prevent the creation of the systems you have just demonized Mr. Paul. (best presidential candidate BTW). My understanding was that capitalism was supposed to go through regular cycles of boom and bust, bull and bear markets, constant cycles of crisis, now is that a system that's good for human beings? to be half the time in a worse state?

By the means of production, they mean the natural and capital resources. (The raw materials, tools, machinery, money, etc) Not the labor resources. However, that's not the definiton of capitalism I use. In fact, I try to avoid using that word for it is an anti-concept.

Stock market - biotech - Drug test comes up with an ambiguous response, more research is needed - normal., needed, the drug could still be a biggie. Stock tanks but investors hold - naked short selling. Capital markets are supposed to raise money and create economic growth. In reality, they are a rigged ponzi scheme.

By: richi1173. on 07 Nov 08, 21:35:39
I can see your point and as you say it might get easier for everyone. We have progressed far technology wise, but more complex technology requires more specialization. It will be difficult for a computer engineer to farm, lets say, since we only have a limited number of hours that we can be up in a day. Those resources also require specialized people to properly maintain them, and that requires specialization also. For example, computer farmers will require maintenance in some form by humans.

By: antonchigurh9. on 07 Nov 08, 19:55:19
Well yes but my point is that of the Venus project: this is to say that when technology advances so far that resources are almost limitless (ie solar energy, geothermal) that everyone is able to have enough of what they want, and no one actually needs to pay for it. It's a dream really but feasible with the proper amount of time

By: richi1173. on 07 Nov 08, 19:40:30
Money will never disappear, since its a standard "thing" with value that allows for ease of trade. It will be difficult for me to trade with you 1000 computers for 2000 bags of corn, for example, if we didn't have a standard. That is why we invented money- to make trading easier.

By: antonchigurh9. on 04 Nov 08, 04:42:13
Capitalism is just as bad as socialism, but they are just symptoms of the real disease, so there's no point in arguing about them. The real problem is the desire for money in a resource-deprived society. The advancement of technology will allow for abundant resources and the elimination of a need for money, and therefore a system of capitalism or socialism.

By: 1968eric. on 17 Oct 08, 06:04:40
I see no evidence that corporations are seeking to stifle education in critical thinking and reason, but I do see LOADS of evidence that the liberal academics running our colleges and universities are failing miserably at teaching it. The fact you think capitalism is "inherently corrupt" may as well be exhibit A. Capitalism is by definition the absence of corruption. Corporations are among the victims of our education system not the cause.

By: NinjaRevolutionSquad. on 17 Oct 08, 00:41:10
1968eric, what George is trying to say is that while these corporations may want skilled, educated people to work for them, they only want them to be educated in the technical skills required for them to do their job. What they don't want is CRITICAL THINKERS. People who are able to think for themselves. This is social constructionism at its finest (or worst). We've been warned time and time again by great men like Carlin. Don't turn a blind eye. Capitalism is inherentley corrupt.

By: 1968eric. on 15 Oct 08, 08:12:52
Government/politicians are the group that needs a dumbed-down and dependent society. Corporations need skilled and educated people to help run them and customers with discretionary income to spend on their product. The whole bailout problem is ultimately the product of politicians mucking with the economy where they don't belong and trying to fix their mistakes with more mucking around in it. What you call greed (I call ambition) is behind every innovation we enjoy today.

True, China is not completely communist. But what country is? No country is completely any one thing. No country is truely communist, if that was what you meant. Only places like North Korea or Cuba would match something near complete communism. What really matters is the overall status of a country. In reality, every country offers capitalism. Even Vladmir Lenin of the dead U.S.S.R. offered capitalism. A country is capitalist when most of their business is not owned by government.

By: adog262. on 19 Nov 08, 02:12:11
Okay okay, that came from someone else's comment. The guy said something about socialism and communism being the same. Well, we for sure, you and I, can agree that they are NOT the same. They are similar in many repects, but they aren't equal to one another. For example, let's look at Switzerland. Very socialist, this country has houses that all look the same. No really, each and every thing looks equal to one another. But are they communist? No, because government permits enterprise.

You, my friend, are the misguided one. You seem to think that communism and socialism are the same thing. Don't try to bolster your credentials with Chinese friends, I just returned from the country myself. I don't disagree with the concept that they have a repressive communist regime because they only allow one party any power. All I'm saying is that there are enough capitalist facets of the Chinese economy, namely the fiat currency the yuan, to not declare it completely socialist or communist.

No country on EARTH is completely capitalist. That's common sense. And no, China is NOT as capitalist as this great country! You should be ashamed of yourself!

Yeah, but WE don't live in a free-market capitalist system. WE control the price of our food as well. China is about as capitalist as the U.S., and the U.S. is about as socialist as China. Neither of them have ever truly existed in the U.S., so we need to move toward a free market and then we can talk trash about socialism. George W. Bush is an idiot and spent all of our money anyway, so it doesn't matter about taxes, we are going to be paying off debt for a while.

Well, with a population of 1 1/4 billion, I could imagine some control being thought of by the officials. I don't know, I don't think price controls are very successful. Ancient Greek and Ancient Rome also tried that, and the result was failure. Capitalism is, by most, the best way to go for anyone. It is much better to allow people to make their buying decisions and chose which store to purchase products from. Makes sense, no? The buyers pay what they feel like, no what is by law.

Food service is considered essential. In China the government controls food, petro, communication (this one I have a bit of problem with), and transportation, because they're considered essential to people's daily life and government control ensures that no drastic things can happen.

I have a question ...
By: adog262. on 16 Nov 08, 05:55:36
I have a question for you: if China was state-capitalist, then why does the government control the price of food? Government does have a role in the job market, that is for certain. But don't you think that there is too much government in our lives? No matter what communists say, they always want government. Government this, government that. Don't people look around in society wuth their own senses anymore? Can't people do their own charity organizations? All they want is government.

By: merdufer. on 16 Nov 08, 02:54:26
Dude work assignment was so last generation... There's a job market in private, foreign companies and (mostly) semi-private companies. There's a market in China. There are investors in China. The fact that there's government *approval* involved doesn't make it communist. Communism is about the government having *direct control* over the economy. In that respect, China is a state-capitalist country.

I don't speak from gut, I speak from opinion. Research can be done on Wikipedia by searching "The Eye 2." This Chinese horror movie was approved by the government. In China, one must have permission in order to sell products including movies, food, water, anything. So, why is it that you say that I know nothing about China? Ask my Chinese brothers, they will tell you. In China, the government assigns you to work. You have no say as to where you wish to work. :)

By: Nightmare1366. on 13 Nov 08, 16:54:50
Though I believe in Communism,I know that not all Socialist ideolgies are democratic. Socialism is a broad term which is base on the collective ownership of property and the means of production by the state or Workers. In the U.S.S.R, the workers didn't have this ownership, but the Bonapartist, buearcartic state did. Most Communist and socilaist want a democratic control, there are those who want to rule it with an iron fist (E.G. Stalinist)

She received Aid to Dependent Children until she was able to manage on her own. We didn't have much and appreciated what we had. Hey, and I didn't end up in prison! Some people are never satisfied and feel that they are "entitled" So they go mug people. That should end when Obama is elected, because he'll do that legally!

The basis for the crisis is predictable and it was in fact predicted. It is built into financial liberalization that there will be frequent and deep crises. In fact, since financial liberalization was instituted about thirty five years ago, there has been a trend of increasing regularity of crises and deeper crises, and the reasons are intrinsic and understood. They have to do fundamentally with well understood inefficiencies of markets. I.E. markets like to externalize risk and costs.

The reason the economy is going down the pan is because we bail out all these selfish bankers who don't give a fuck about the general public. We should regulate the economy to prevent injustice. The problem is people are brainwashed into protecting capitalism even when it makes them poorer. Capitalism is the enemy of real freedom.

Dr Paul is honest, he speaks the truth. Hopefully, whoever is voted into office will consult with Dr Paul.

The answer is either a third party which will take many years or retake The Repubican Party and throw the Neocons and The Evalgalicals out from power and put true compassionate conservatives back in charge.

First of all, who is "WE"? Drawing lines in the sand now? How sad. I love how you immediately get pissy and start dishing out insults/profanity. Really shows how level-headed you are, "slut". So much for trying to have an intelligent conversation on YouTube! LOL. You may have a half-truth there, but to blame it all on the Jews - why not slap on a swastika and start shouting Heil Hitler? Go back to Nazi Germany, dick. I repeat - sit down and shut up, you racist piece of trash. I'm done here.

Look up George Dubya's granddaddy, Prescott Bush: "After 60 years of inattention and even denial by the U.S. media, newly-uncovered government documents in The National Archives and Library of Congress reveal that Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, served as a business partner of and U.S. banking operative for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942, when Congress took aggressive action against Bush and his 'enemy national' partners."

With that kind of attitude, especially with that kind of slurred-biased thinking, you're right - YOU won't overcome. Maybe you should sit down and shut up while the rest of us at least TRY to make better of the shitty situation we've been dealt. Oh, and you might want to re-think the whole Nazi-flavored idea that Jews run all the banks/lobbies/media outlets. You would be surprised how many Nazis slipped through the cracks post-World War II and started corporations both across Europe and the US.

By: mrbadguysan. on 17 Nov 08, 13:00:25
I think you're wrong, and I'll tell you why. These contracts are for a myriad of things, ranging from laundry for bases in Iraq to Diplomatic Security. The problem is that many of these contracts are being awarded to the same players: Black Water, Haliburton, etc...These companies then subcontract the work. Cronyism can flourish in this climate. The thing is, is that the government has the capacity to do these jobs, but has failed to do so under the guise of "Keeping Government Small."

By: rcroton. on 16 Nov 08, 14:39:27
IF America wanted to drive down costs, then they could stop with the contract bidding wars. I'm sure that would translate to the regular hardware production...then again, you may not get the best product or return. One thing to do would not be to cave to pressure groups and lobbyists, like in the Airbus/Daimler-Boeing contracting scandal. And then, it's not as much crony capitalism, it's protectionism- something Klein advocates!

By: steampunkx. on 16 Nov 08, 01:00:08
Demand or not, defense contractors are asking for too high a price and the US government is paying it regardless of the consequence. You can't gauge "crony capitalism" based on the sheer number of contracts. It's all about who benefits from the purchase.

By: rcroton. on 04 Nov 08, 00:44:48
I'll make a point and perhaps say that 1) this explosion in contracts is probably because of military demands and 2) the vast new number of contracts in-fact probably means that crony capitalism has lessened. Observe that in a military-industrial complex like Klein seems to invent single contracts will cover many many things. More contracts probably means more companies are being dealt with, not less, if anything.

I admire her tenacity and objectivity, but you might as well forget getting AG to admit to anything that will circle back to him or his vested interests. He's a master of obtuse mumbling--and his voice carries no actual substance. Greenspan and his co-enablers have failed America. He needs to be tried, exposed, and laid to rest if we're to have a future.

Maybe she realizes that the "shock doctrine" and "cronyism" are not born from a free market or capitalism, but organized politics (i.e. govt) and a population that allows it, but I have yet to hear evidence of this. Greenspan is right to clarify that Bush's presidency is not somehow unique, like she pretends. Has she investigated anything pre-Bush? She is anti-capitalism, and nothing more.

By: DontDoItToJulia. on 01 Nov 08, 06:27:23
Starting with the fundamental truth, which is that people are free to pursue their ideas and enter in to voluntary agreement, or trade, with others- what scenario can achieve this? If it infringes on this outright, it is certainly immoral. Which system acknowledges the very thing that defines human beings, choice, the most? If people are not talking about individual rights, but instead, social, human, state's, or equal rights, than they are just talking about a different color of oppression.

By: curtnoel9. on 27 Oct 08, 16:33:56
Naomi is incredible. Beautiful and intelligent. But I think Greenspan actually is acting out of firm beliefs and its not like Rove and Cheney. He is aware of human selfishness but unaware that "market forces" are feeble tools to keep it in check. Over the long term they are (decades) but who wants to ride out the hard years in between? Thats actually his only real misjudgement. Its a serious one, and others have used him to their own advantage because of it, but I think he will come around.

Yeah, why not ask them? I don't see rural farmers flocking to neo-liberal policies. Structural adjustment programs and free trade agreements are far from capitalism - they are ideology driven policies that ignore the numerous obstacles to anything resembling a free market. Meanwhile, those who are trying to move away from capitalism are met with brutal force - US funding for media luna groups in Bolivia is just the most recent example in Latin America.

The idea that Chomsky is a communist is absurd as well, much of his political philosophy is inspired by Adam Smith and Thomas Jefferson- children of the enlightenment and proponents of free market capitalism and individual liberty.

Capitalism is "inherently" wrong? If you want to play it that way, then let's take Socialism. We could say that Socialism is inherently wrong because even though it facilitates to the needs of the poor through social programs, it puts everyone under a system of economic slavery. Just because Socialism tends to the needs of everybody, does that make it the correct method? NO! Socialism limits economic growth, just like capitalism limits social justice. Which do you want?

You said "government intervention is necessary to keep society on track". "On track" is very subjective. Some want society to be equal in every way such as income, opportunity, happiness. This requires a tremendous amount of government force into people's lives. Others, including me, think that liberty (the freedom to do what you want as long as you don't trample on others freedom) is tremendously more important than equality of life. Many liberals will give away liberty to force equality.

'liberty' is a bit of a wishy-washy word. What do you mean exactly? You talk about the ability to act according to ones own will. Is that the same as doing whatever you want to do?. If you understand anything about human nature, you would see that government intervention is necessary to keep society on track. I live in a democracy and I feel reasonably free. I haven't experienced communism, so I don't know how they feel. I think that democracy can improve and I will do my bit to help it.

By: CrocodilusPontifex. on 17 Nov 08, 05:45:49
Here's the problem with leftwing relativism. If you're a hardcore anarchist, anyone to the right of Nader probably seems like a fascist. Likewise, if you're a neo-Nazi, anyone to the left of Pinochet probably seems like a communist. But both these views are so marginal, held by only a tiny fringe minority in the US, that any such relativism is pointless and irrelevant. Chomsky's political musings have been the biggest waste of intellectual energy in history. It's a shame.

By: bringideason. on 17 Nov 08, 05:39:12
To say the value of different economic systems is 'relative depending upon the people governed and at the time governed' you must think there aren't any universal rights of mankind such as the right to life and liberty. If you think that liberty is a universal right then you can't say that Communism is just as valuable as Capitalism. If you look at every Communist effort and examine the level of liberty of it's masses you'll see their right to act according to thier own will is reduced.

Profit is mostly created by creating value (for customers, employees shareholders). Wall Street and the debt filled current "American way" is garbage now I agree. Create wealth. Work hard-in an ethical manner-and make lots of money. Government (at the barrel of a gun I might add) takes 40% of everything earned and wastes much of it. Snuggle up to a nice read of "Atlas Shrugged". Capitalism works. What the elite in the USA have done is not only criminal-it is pure stupidity. Shmucks.

It was kept cheap and available not by market forces, but by elimination of the indigenous population and slavery.

The ability to keep and sustain private property is absolutely necessary for economic expansion and innovation. As a small, small example, go down the list on the economic freedom (i.e. capitalism) index and think about the general trend as the amount of this goes up and/or down.

A country where individual rights are consistently upheld is, in a sense, necessarily somewhat anti-democratic. Yes having government leaders elected is absolutely necessary to keeping a nation free, but to give the majority absolute rule over the individual is inherently unfree. But that is only by a broad definition of democratic.

I think gates hit on something here... as part of the social contract with the world we owe it to ourselves to find new markets where we can trade and develop.I'm not saying to force any one's hand, but certainly this is the direction we need to move towards.

neoliberalism's antidemocratic nature flows from the fact that it was driven by the technocratic class. To flourish professions do not need a majority of citizens to believe in their expertise. They require a source of payment for their services and/or support for their professional training. As in the United States, Mexican businesspeople were willing to foot the bills in order to change the way the country's educational elite thought about economics.

the politics of the global economy is a one-party system, dominated by a class of multinational investors and their client policy experts. We might call it the Neoliberal Party?or perhaps the Party of Davos, from the site (until last year) of the annual meeting of the world's financial and policy elite. In a one-party system, the absence of democracy is hardly a surprise. Although one can see the beginnings of a party in opposition (the Party of Porto Alegre?) in the anti-globalization protests.

Wow, so when people's lives are saved by shifting resources from rich elites, one less yacht, to children born in the USA without health care (I know a 9 year old, without health care, who was murdered by the USA health care system from a tooth-ache) that is only shifting problems?

Pro-Capitalism policies and Pro-Socialism policies will do nothing but SHIFT the social problems of society. DIFFERENT POLICIES WILL ONLY SHIFT PROBLEMS! Only technology solves problems and improves society. Feel free to subscribe to my videos. Thanks.
