Capitalism

There is no consensus on capitalism nor how it should be used as an analytical category.^[1] There are a variety of historical cases over which it is applied, varying in time, geography, politics and culture.^[2] Economists, political economists and historians have taken different perspectives on the analysis of capitalism. scholars in the social sciences, including historians, economic sociologists, economists, anthropologists and philosophers have debated over how to define capitalism, however there is little controversy that private ownership of the means of production, creation of goods or services for profit in a market, and prices and wages are elements of capitalism.^[3]

Economists usually put emphasis on the market mechanism, degree of government control over markets (laissez faire), and property rights^[4][5], while most political economists emphasize private property, power relations, wage labor, and class.^[6] There is a general agreement that capitalism encourages economic growth.^[7] The extent to which different markets are "free", as well as the rules determining what may and may not be private property, is a matter of politics and policy and many states have what are termed "mixed economies."^[6]

Capitalism as a system developed incrementally from the 16th century in Europe, although capitalist-like organizations existed in the ancient world, and early aspects of merchant capitalism flourished during the Late Middle Ages.^[8][9][10] Capitalism became dominant in the Western world following the demise of feudalism.^[10] Capitalism gradually spread throughout Europe, and in the 19th and 20th centuries, it provided the main means of industrialization throughout much of the world.^[2]

1. Free market capitalism for our economic, problems is accusing a ghost. November 12, 2009 Everywhere I turn, I see, read and hear how capitalism has destroyed the American economy. The political Left blames capitalism outright, while the political Right claims capitalism is the American ideal. The elitists in banking, government, academia and the media give lip service to the idea of a free market, when they, in fact, have no use for it. The real purpose of claiming that free markets are the American ideal is to give the collectivist a scapegoat to blame for all their nefarious wealth redistribution programs. Too many of today activists have fallen for this intentional misdirection... (read more) Author: surender singh

2. What Happened To Alan Greenspan After November 10, 2009 While at the book store looking through some books about gold and the economy (I can't really remember which book it was), it mentioned Alan Greespan's essay "Gold and Economic Freedom." I had read about it several times and heard Ron Paul mention it, so I thought I should read it. I found it in Ayn Rand's CAPTIALISM: The Unknown Ideal. I am new to economics but have been reading as much as I can from The Ludwig von Mises Institute and Lewrockwell.com. Still, I have to say it was an extraordinary essay for me. Based on what little I know, all I can say is, WHAT HAPPENED TO GREENSPA... (read more) Author: David Singhiser

4. What a tangled web we weave - Establishing what should be October 29, 2009 Most people around the world today aren’t aware of how we’ve all unwittingly become casualties of what has been described as “decadent capitalism”. There’s constant pressure to earn more and be more, yet we end up spending more and thus the vicious cycle continues. But that’s not the life we want for our children.

7. A review of the movie Capitalism: A Love Story October 19, 2009 This movie brings about a general knock on the capitalistic approach and this is not out of tune with Mr. Moore’s previous movies. Partly, there is a general sense that the major financial giants have raided the general public for another round of super bonuses and more money to slush around with. Giant financials seemed to pull the strings endlessly, filling their coffers again with taxpayer money. In the context of the broad base of taxpayers, mostly lugging away at relatively lower paying jobs, this is not of out context with reality. As usual Mr. Moore sometime...

8. What Makes A Leader? October 19, 2009 My apologies to Earl Nightengale for using his profound insight and rhetorical skills to express my thoughts, but why reinvent the wheel. We who desire to accumulate riches, should remember the real leaders of the world always have been men and women who harnessed, and put into practical use, the intangible, unseen forces of unborn opportunity, and have converted those forces, (or impulses of thought), into sky-scrapers, cities, factories, airplanes, automobiles, and every form of convenience that makes life more pleasant, defining a true entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is collectiv... (read more) Author: Wally Pieper

9. Northern European painting of the 15th-16th centuries October 16, 2009 The 15th and 16th centuries saw the rise of capitalism and a growing middle class, the creation of modern nation states, and the upheaval of the Protestant Reformation. For artists, an innovation of evenly far-reaching importance was the perfection of oil paints in the Low Countries, which allowed northern painters to depict the world with unprecedented precision. At the end of the middle Ages, some of the liveliest centers of painting were in the Netherlands, also known as the Low Countries, an area comprising present-day Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and part of France.

12. Why Obama Needs Single Moms Back in School October 01, 2009 The basis of capitalism in our society is dependent upon the creation of new jobs. The jobs are taken over by qualified people who will provide for their families and also taxes that make our government and country function. Without new jobs, our country will fail. This is why President Obama has chosen to allocate billions of dollars for single mothers so that they can become a productive part of the new and emerging workforce. Too many people are without employment in our current recessional economy. Most of us are looking for a way to pay for our mortgage or put food on the table. Most... (read more) Author: Thomas Simon

13. If Obama Really Cared What Would He Be Doing? September 24, 2009 Unemployment Insurance – He would be increasing benefits to 50% of gross pay for two years instead of bailing out companies. Social Security – Raise the benefits by about 50%. Wars – He would be pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan. He promised to do so and instead is committing more troops. Military – He would be downsizing the military. Why does he need 13 aircraft carrier groups? Patriot Act – He would be canceling this. Instead of dropping certain parts of it like he promised, he is extending some provisions of the Patriot act. Banking – Why bail out the banks and t... (read more) Author: Aurelia Masterson

14. Swiss Bank UBS Sued by 500 Americans September 24, 2009 Executive Summary – The Swiss Bank UBS is being sued by at least 500 of their American clients for releasing information to the USA. The clients feel betrayed and are suing. The Swiss have had to add on 5 judges for a two year posting to hear the excess of cases they just got hit with. More cases should be coming in I would think. As a result of the Swiss economy is getting hit hard. Personal bankruptcies are expected to hit 6,000 this year. Business bankruptcies this year will hit 5,000 for the first time. What I say is: What about the people who trusted them with their life savings that... (read more) Author: Aurelia Masterson

15. Drug Legalization Marches in Latin America September 21, 2009 Executive Summary – The drug laws are not working. Everyone knows this. Eighty percent of the people in the massive USA prison system are locked up for drugs or drug related reasons. If the other countries legalize drugs, drop the victimless crime of money laundering (almost always tied to drugs so if drugs legal, then the money is not implicated in money laundering as fruits of a crime) then certain one world order governments will have nothing to bother foreign governments about. The USA and UK being world visionaries (sic) have thus got the OECD to get all these tax information sharing... (read more) Author: Aurelia Masterson

16. 45% of US Doctors Consider Quitting if Health Care Overhauled September 21, 2009 Executive Summary – The doctors do not want to work for low wages under the new health care reform. Many of them, almost half said they would consider quitting the practice of medicine. We would expect many of them to leave the USA for greener pastures. In other countries doctors do not have to fear malpractice lawsuits and government investigations. The money would be less but the cost of living is lower and the quality of life is higher. This would result in a doctor drain. Also the highly trained health care workers that are not doctors would leave for greener pastures. So then USA opens th... (read more) Author: Aurelia Masterson

17. Panama Banks Refuse New Accounts to Americans September 21, 2009 Executive Summary – Reports are coming in that some of the Panama Banks are refusing to open any sort of bank account for Americans. This is no surprise. That is how Switzerland started out and then they were turning over account information on thousands of Americans having bank accounts there. We expect to see the banks will soon start telling the Americans with accounts in Panama to sign waivers of bank secrecy and file W-9 forms to the IRS reporting the accounts to the IRS. If the Americans fail to execute this paperwork then the bank account gets closed in 30 days. This is what the Swiss d... (read more) Author: Aurelia Masterson
