Similarly I've been reading a history of the Congo...ruled by the tiny country of Belgium. Quite horrible, during, after, and up until today.

Capitalism is dead.

Speaking of capitalism, my Amazon review of the essay "Too Many People?" refutes that we are living under such a system. Today, we live under pure Marxist ideology. Capitalism is word we(they) use to control people who might object. That is plain to see by the number of those who criticize it daily and that the wealthiest people in the world are Democrats.

the S&P 500 returned like 30 % last year. corporations r winning record profits. capitalism is about rewarding ownership of means of production and provision of credit. my IRA poppin. we live under capitalism. it's the only workable system

India has more anti-capitalist rules than China does and suffers for it. when India and Latin Europe finally liberalize, the world economy will go even more bonkers.

some of mrs. Roy's demands r sensible. she's obviously hella smart. she gotta c that Pakistan and India - and all big countries situated side by side - gonna rumble

how do u mean? I think that's a passable synonym, or substitute, for the "late capitalism" terminology. certainly it's apt when consumption is so much more voluminous than private investment and public investment, combined, and when variations in aggregate consumer license decide the magnitude and location of investment and the employment rate

it still seems like a mature capitalism, tho
