How did that work out in countries with almost 100% tax and full distribution policies?
- Spooky23 9y agoMostly, they laundered their money in the United States!
- SturgeonsLaw 9y agoSurely there is middle ground before we get to 100% taxation? "I don't get it, people like drinking water but they don't like drowning"
- conanbatt 9y agoI'd say that if the solution to the problem, given unlimited solutions, made the problem worse, then it will also fail in smaller applications. "The only reason I am in debt, is because i can't ask for a big enough loan"
- sgt101 9y agoThe lesson is that extremes and monocultures are generally failures. Moderate and diverse economies are probably better fit to long term success; in the short run ideology can generate massive benefits - like war communism did. I would argue that many of the economies of the developed world have swung far to far toward plutocracy and injustice.
