Nobody ever looks at the whole picture. Right next to the video above is "A message from John C. ..." Mr Dvorak is a brilliant podcast personality with loads of interesting things to say. But please keep the ads. He talks way to much about fine wines and dining and international travel to be asking for donations. What does he get for speaking? About $10K like Leo?? Wow! Nobody ever looks at the whole picture.

The lack of import tariffs. The US is the largest consumer nation on earth, yet they can't seem to produce products they would buy. OTH I imagine this situation very favorable to businesses like 'Walmart'. I love capitalism, but I'm not so foolish as to think that these humans are such noble creatures as to be able to pull it off unregulated. Proper government requires a balance of capitalism and socialism. #9 No I was just using the Ronnie Raygun interpretation. The lack of import tariffs.

Exactly. The origin of capitalism was the making of money from the interest on loans. A highly parasitic activity that ranks up there with communism & socialism as far as being a dead end economic system, as people who don't produce end up with the Capital of those who do. Our Fed banking system (the system that enabled & helped the financial system collapse) is a prime example of capitalism. Businesses that produce stuff people will buy (or not) unfettered by gov't interference is Free market econ. Corrupt money supply isn't a Free market item. # 9 LibertyLover said, “Please do not confuse what this goobermint has done with the phrase “Free Market.” We are victims of Capitalism – as in the acquisition of capital.”

So a fortunate few can feel they are superior to the rest cause they have a collection of cars, a huge residence, lots of servants, plenty of bling, a trophy wife, etc., etc...

And still==no one loses a job, blame is generalized to "everyone" which is no one. The need for re-regulation is already being cautioned against by "the free market guys." Maybe civilizations fail when they simply get too big to manage. Yea, so what is clearly ridiculous on an individual basis was pushed by Bush and passed by Congress as the Bailout.
