What are two modern nations successfully implementing the ideas of capitalism?

Question

Any additional information about these nations would be helpful.

Fail...
If you don't know, don't answer.

They don't have to be "strict capitalists". Just a nations who use some of the ideas of capitalism and are working out well.

Answer 1

Not pure capitalism but capitalism with improvement. I think USA and Japan.

Answer 2

No economic system in the world fully implements the ideas of Capitalism. Capitalism is a free market without any government intervention, which does not happen anywhere in the world because taxes are needed in order to provide public goods and services that people rely on, such as military or police. The most capitalist leaning nation in the world is the United States, because we habitually favor efficiency over equity. So in order to find which countries are the most capitalist, you would have to first look at the tax rates, so if you research this you will be able to find which countries are more capitalist (therefore more lassiez faire). I can't give you much more information other than the US is one of the most well known capitalist leaning states.

Answer 3

I think you need to define 'capitalism' as it is one of those loaded words that people define differently.

To me, it simply means to significantly trade capital, and the effect on human society of that decision. Certainly a capitalist nation needs a stock exchange, where capital can be freely traded. So, this sort of rules out the Middle Ages, feudalism and so on.

Most countries - in fact all that I can think of - are capitalist, although technically communist countries are not since they regulate capital and often simply decide what gets built by decree instead of trading for capital.

Most countries regulate capital markets, some better than others. Marx argued that left alone, capital markets would cause monopolies, and eventual chaos if left unregulated.

Answer 4

Maybe Japan and Australia.

After more research, I've found there is no 100% correct answer. There basic fundamentals of "capitalism" aren't universally agreed upon.

from: http://abcworld.net/Capitalist.html

Debates center on whether capitalism

* is an actual system, or an ideal
* has been actualized in particular economies, or if not, then to what degree capitalism exists in them (see mixed economy)
* is historically specific (that is, that it emerged at a specific time and place), or a system that has existed in various places at various times
* is a purely economic system, or a political, social, and cultural system as well
* is fair or not. Ie, does it enrich more people (globally), or impoverish more people (globally).
* is sustainable or not
* is rational or not

Answer 5

Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, South Korea, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Argentina, United States.

Answer 6

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 7

Germany and Japan. These two nations are a great study because after world war two both of them had to start from all over again. From scratch. Particularly Germany.

Answer 8

Two very successful capitalist nations that were recently military dictatorships are Chile and South Korea.

Answer 9

Capitalism has to be controlled by democratic instruments.

Answer 10

I guess England and Denmark would qualify, or maybe Switzerland.
