I agree that Capitalisim can be either good or bad depending on how it is used- the same as socialism for example, although it could be argued we have had neither true socialism or capitalism as they were intended by their originators- socialism got as far as dictatorship of the prolataliat and then stalled, on the other hand true capitalism doesn't exist ethir as demonstrated in bubble markets in housing in the Uk and protective measures to protect homemade bussiness- a great example of this was the global finaicial crisis where the banks were bailed out by government-those in power tend to have more wealth and don't want to change the power reigeime- so won't allow where thier money is to fail-hence the protect ive measures to protect
their wealth- true capitailism would allow for more bankruptices as that is the natural idea behind capitailism-it's like evelution for bussinesses, survival of the strongest- however that led capitailism to loose its way by giving bonuses to share holders rather than reinvesting in the bussiness so profit became king with other long term consequences such as jobs and enviromental pollution being ignored- this cannot continue in the long term as it is detrimental to all.Ironically true socialism is quite almost Christian oriented in it's thinking and yet it's loathed in the U.S- a very Christian country(at least that's the impression the media and those in power give) because of its suppose affinity to communism and the cold war, which I suppose shows the hypocacisy of so called "Traditional Christian values"-personally I am against Traditions because they tend to be primative,barbaric and keep the powerful in power.Socialism may have gone in the dustbin, but it's about time capitailism joined it as an idea of the past that has outlived its usefulness.

Let me guess, you're one of those "socialism would be great " people who says " that's not real socialism" when it fails? Nothing wrong with capitalism,. It's what has made the greatest countries work.
