Chaos, Synchronicity, and Capitalism (Article) - 8/18/2009 10:10:16 AM
Permit me to respectfully disagree with you here. The only fully 'natural' thing about capitalism is the ethically faulty and morally flawed nature of human beings who engage in capitalistic commerce. In a perfect world, one in which all human beings maintained the highest possible regard for ethics, morals, and optimal behavioral modes of interaction, 'capitalism' would be a refreshingly legitimate and worthy dynamic of great economic utility. However, given that virtually all human beings ultimately fall victim to the ravaging effects of greed, avarice, power, and egoism, capitalism as a lionised economic model (and it is, you know, despite your assertion to the contrary) is so terribly flawed in its practical applications that any group of 'civilised' (I use that term with the greatest irony) people who adopt its precepts are doomed to fail just as surely and utterly as any that preceeded them. In the end, no 'system' is neither any better nor worse than the human beings who operate it. That having been said, I enjoyed reading this excerpt and it will be interesting to read the greater thesis is has been taken from. Aloha mai e.
