That's not to say that capitalism is thus refuted as an economic model. All it means is that someone hasn't been doing an adequate enough job (probably regulators or lawmakers, in this case).
Capitalism's success is always a function of adequate rule of law, economic regulation, social trust, and personal generosity. Where those are present, it absolutely trounces other models.
- sitkack 8y agoCapitalism is astable and requires a negative feedback framework to operate properly. It also has a narrow habitable zone otherwise it will cause an ecosystem collapse. Capitalism isn't just a hand, it is mostly a mind that runs as an overlay over all the participants willing or not, and it isn't very bright, but it is very powerful. We are all but rabbits under its strong hands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArNz8U7tgU4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArNz8U7tgU4
