With all these bailouts and talks of future bail outs.. It truly makes you think does capitalism really work without the government intervening. I really believe capitalism is outgrowing itself and is easily manipulated in today's technological environment. If a group of people have their hands on loads of cash it is easy to manipulate and corner markets underneath the government's radar screen. It really leaves you questioning there has to be a better way than this outdated and non-functional system of capitalism we use today. Also, along with that you can see that greed is rampant which is a product of capitalism.. I know hard core capitalist believe greed is inherent in all humans but I beg to differ. I believe greed is a product of the environment that is born out of capitalism. Hopefully years from now we will start to see the err of our ways and find alternative mechanisms for humankind to sustain each other.
I believe if we are truly to become a asset to the universe we will find an alternate way to functioning in this universe. I believe capitalism doesn't belong in an intelligent advanced society. We as human beings should realize we are above all the animals in this world and we do not have to operate in a survival of the fittest mentality toward each other. It would be nice if we could learn to get along and create a better world.. Maybe ridding ourselves of capitalism will be a step in the right direction.. I could say maybe we should shoot for Marxist principles but honestly I do not know what type of system would work.. Any system that would eliminate the concept of money probably would work find but it is hard to say if that would be an intelligent decision. Either way, we need to rid ourselves of greed not just money but the greed..
