Listverse : Top 10 Greatest Benefits of Capitalism

Mon, 27 Dec 2010 01:11:32 +0000

Hi I do see the difference between a state controlled asset and a social capital network of people interacting to achieve a goal in society. The latter is permitted to exist an grow in a free market economy. I'm not sure where you wanted that distinction in the index, the way I see it the categories are very reasonable. Even nations that one would consider as "socialist" rank up pretty high in that list like Denmark, that is in the top ten.

I checked again for this year, and Sweden is in 21, and Norway is in 37, which is still moderately free. http://www.heritage.org/index/Ranking

If you produce more than you consume, are you wealthier? not at ALL. If all you do is produce and do not consume, you are otherwise known as a serf. If you consume, without the need to produce so much, you are a very wealthy person. You got it backwards my friend.

equality does not fit well with capitalism? have you not seen all of the people irrespective of their ethnicity that have been able to uplift theirselves from poverty? Or does equality adheres to communism? where everyone is equally miserable?

Both seek the elimination of private property at the hands of a collective, so no it's not the opposite, and its not mutually exclusive

I would have to disagree with religion, religion's death toll doesn't even reach communism, which is the most disgusting ideology man has ever come up with.

If things were so much better back then, then why don't you live your life as it was back in those times? forget about your internet connection, or cable tv, live as if it was back in the 50's and then let me know how good it was back then. Also, one person can bring the bread and butter to the house, but because of technology, women don't have to spend the day at home cleaning and doing all sorts of things which is really labor, they can now get jobs at the professional level as men. And also people have more vacations than ever before, so you should really check a history book before romanticizing how simple and wonderful life used to be back then.

N I thought that in order to be a christian not only did you have to accept J.C., but you also have to keep the 10 commandments and the teachings of J.C.... which most "christians" like palin and bush, and the westboro baptist church do not even bother following.

>You sound like a George Bush supporter. "If you don't agree with me, you're not a patriot!" Maybe you people should learn to read the Constitution, particularly the First Amendment. Strawman, much? >And I bet anything you'd think a capitalist in a communist country was some kind of hero. Because he/she is. A capitalist in a commie nation is advocating freedom for their people from being treated as livestock and slaves under communism.

First of all, Chamberlain, like the good liberal he was, appeased to Hitler's demands. Communist dictators murdered an amassed number of 150 million people through famine, torture, and just simply murder. You can't really top these douche-bags. So stop apologizing for all the horrors of communism.
