in what way does capitalism curtail the impulse of those in power to break markets?
having a bonfire in my house is fine, sure it catches the house on fire, but that's the fault of the materials my house is made from, not the bonfire. there are hypothetical materials that wouldn't catch fire, i'm pretty sure.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoThe same way that socialism or state control doesn't fix those problems either. At least with capitalism the (alleged) ideal is decentralization of control. Other systems are overtly authoritarian with the explicit goal of consolidation of power.
- pasquinelli 5y agosure that's the ideal, now how about the reality? actually, comparing ideal for ideal, isn't socialism ideally about decentralization of control too?
- throwawaylinux 5y agoReally? The reality between socialism and capitalism? Okay look at USSR, pre-capitalist China, North Korea, Communist Cambodia etc. And compare them with USA, Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Germany.
