What do you think of Capitalism?

Question

State The Following :
1 : Answer
2 : Reason

Answer 1

it is a horrible, corrupt system that allows the rich to get richer and doesn't protect the average citizen. it isn't equality at all. people aren't given equal oppertunities to excel, thus people born in a poor family remain poor and the cycle continues. what happened to equality?

Answer 2

It's probably the best economic system despite many failings. The command economy system really doesn't work.

The problems with capitalism is that corporations are able to acquire too much social and political hegemony, and when that leads to monopolies and class structures, as we see more and more today, it actually begins to hurt the efficiency of the system.

As a friend of mine once said, capitalism works because it is based on greed. Put in a nicer way, it does provide a way for people to turn their hard work into prosperity, and most motivated people can succeed. The system is not perfect in most countries including the US because there are always inequalities of opportunity due to class, race, socio-economic position, unequal access to education, etc. People who believe that typical capitalist systems really offer "equal opportunity for all" are deluding themselves.

One good thing about a capitalist system is that it provides a way for people to compete, based on money rather on force. In countries which do not have a healthy capitalist system, people tend to compete through violence and corruption.

Capitalism could be greatly improved by the proper subsidization of education in order to improve social mobility. Otherwise I don't see a better system anywhere in the world where a society can move forward in relative peace and prosperity.

Answer 3

1. It is perfect!

2. It allows people to suffer or benefit from their actions.
People who work hard get more than those who work less hard get less.
It also helps conserve resources. Supply and demand! The resources are the supply. If supply is running out, the price goes up, if the price goes up, less people buy it, thus, conserving them.
It rewards people for contributing to society. If someone starts a company that sells robots that do housework, people want that (creating demand). He can only make 2 a year (reduced supply). Increasing demand and reducing supply raises price. High price keeps people from buying out the whole store. Uhhhh. There is so much to explain and my mind can barely compute it! The best way to put it is for you to know that capitalism is the answer.

America is one of the only strong capitalist nations left. Liberals want to ruin that. Conservatives and libertarians want to preserve that.

Answer 4

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.

Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).

Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.

Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

Anti-democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents and false government.

Answer 5

1) On a long enough timeline, it creates a boom-and-bust socioeconomy.

2) Eventually, the majority is severely marginalized to support the economy via corporate wealth. A big catastrophe awaits at the end, I believe. It's happened earlier in history, but the overexpansion then tended to be geographical rather than financial. The result will be metaphorically the same, however.

Answer 6

Capitalism can be extremey rewarding to those who are willing to take chances and work hard, but it is extremely brutal on those who are unwilling to pay the cost of success or who expect something for nothing.
That's why the wealthy love it, the middle class are looking for something better, and the poor despise it or look upon it as a way out of poverty.

Answer 7

It isn't perfect. It does not take into account people who are mentally or physically unable to support themselves or their families or the cancer of any type of government, greed. It's main tenant is that anyone who is willing to work hard enough can succeed which is missing in communism. There are worse systems, and there are probably better systems, but so long as there is greed, corruption, and megalomaniacs there will never be a perfect system.

Answer 8

Despite the whining, Capitalism is the only system that allows equal opportunities to all.

It is far from perfect, but the opportunities are there.

As to "equality", the equality is in opportunity. Lazy, "entitled" people, and those of little or no imagination will find themselves missing their chances.

They Have an equal right to fail.

Answer 9

A system that has served the US and the world well since its inception.

It is the best way to insure success for the average Joe and Jane without government getting involved.

Answer 10

It is a big pain in the A#s. But is is still the best method to provide a good standard of living for the average Joe and Jane on the street.

Answer 11

Capitalism is Freedom & Freedom is always better than being controlled &/or told what to do especially by Govt. that never knows what it is doing.

Unless of course you like being controled economically. Ask the East Europeans, Russians, & Chinese how that felt.
