We never were truely capitalist. Protectionism, subsidies, special contracts….the list goes on and on. It’s just more obvious today because a lot has been done in the last couple of weeks to rescue the world from too fast a melt-down.
Does anyone ever wonder why whatever “system” name is used, there’s always the end result of an elite group that highly resembles an aristocracy? USSR had it, Europes’ got it, we’ve got it, Chinese have it. Central and South America…doesnt really matter the name, it’s the end result.
