Why cant people who support capitalism go live on their own island while the world progresses?
Why cant people who support slavery (capitalism) go live away from the rest of the world on their own island where they can exploit their labour as they want? Some people might want to be exploited. But why cant we do this? The rest of the world will become socialist & everyone will be happy and the people who support capitalism can live in misery if that’s what they desire. You see, there is a CHOICE.
Capitalism is freedom to make your own destiny. Why would I want to live in a socialist economy where I may not be able to choose my profession and all products are similar or the same.

How can anyone blame free market capitalism for this economic crisis?
In case you were not paying attention in school, we have central banking, note the word central.
We do not have free market banking.
Even Alan Greenspan said that so long as you have a central bank it is not a free market.
Knowing this, by blaming capitalism you are being blatantly dishonest.
You’re right, if we had true free market capitalism we would be MUCH WORSE OFF.
Liberals: why do you advocate reforming capitalism as opposed to more radical methods?
As in reforming the structure of the economy in such a way that the market mechanism is still alive, while the government regulates some of it? If you hate capitalism, you would support the abolition of it and thus eliminate the causes of problems, as opposed to "helping" remedy the problems caused by the market. Capitalism is not an ideal system, and reforming capitalism does not make it anymore ideal. Only when all people collectively own the means of production is the society "ideal", otherwise we continue to support a system that exploits the proletariat in the framework of "helping" them.
Because experience has shown that markets are successful in some very important functions: encouraging innovation and producing high levels of overall wealth. It has also shown that it is possible to get the innovation of the market system and still have strong support for those who are in need – we haven’t done this in the US, but many other countries have shown you can do both. Attempts to build economies that don’t use the power of the market have been unsuccessful.
If capitalism is so wonderful why was the worldwide recession triggered by the American banking industry?
Or, rather, failures of the UNregulated American banking industry?
Do you agree with Nicolas Sarkozy and Angelika Merkel that there should be worldwide laws regulating the banking industry?
In light of seeing one corporate scandal after another played out on the 6:00 news night after night how successful is capitalism REALLY?
because for capitalism to work at its best, like it did in the 35 years after WW2, the government needs to intervene a bit. But ppl now are so afraid of even a hint of socialism now, that that will never happen. capitalism left to its own devices will result in, well, what he have now.
Does capitalism create a better standard of living for the people who live in capitalist nations?
Compared to Socialist nations. South Korea is more prosperous than North Korea. East Germany was a wreck compared to West Germany. Why does anyone believe that Capitalism is bad?
Most don’t stop to think that socialist countries do not contribute anything worthwhile to society.
They need to think about where all the great inventions and Technologies came from and most came from the U.S.
