ORIGINAL: SpinnerofTales Of course I will. Capitalism can lead to amazing progress. The problem occurs when the wealth holders stratify the system and stop progress or stifle competition. Take a look at the story of Wiliam Randolph Hearst vs. hemp for an example. I don't think there is one "Pure" ideology that works for huge groups. I think you need a little from a lot of different theories. Holy crap, Spinner! I think we are on the same page! Where I go from here, is that the theories which work best have the least direct government involvement. Some things can only be done by government, everything else, ... not so much. From here, we can get tangled forever in the details of how excess is effectively curbed, and suffering best alleved, but I'll drink to the moment. Cheers!
