No, it's seldom been tried, and almost never in the US.

i never smoke thanks
banks should be llowed to fail we agree .
the free market is all the futures and all the wall street products sold that are just WIND and cheats.
that was free market . the banks an dfinacial institutions should not be allowed to issue all these fake trading product just to produce fake wealth.

This discussion is over. Your persistence, I see, is simple adherence to a muddled political and moralistic point of view, wholly divorced from rationality, fundamental economics ... or capitalism, for that matter. We obviously can't even agree on definitions, and you only seem to delight -- in some kind of half-assed and self-righteous way -- at the capital and monetary problems that the US (and most of the rest of the world with us) is currently facing. Enjoy that while you can, because we'll pull out of this sooner than you think, the world will be back to what we perceive as "normal", and you can go on pretending that "you're better than all of that" in your poverty.

As it hasn't been able to exist at all since the robber barons at the beginning of the last century it would seem to be a reasonable assumption that it has failed - as any rational humane person would expect and hope.

well for me a mixed capitalism with social balance sounds good
communism is fine in the book but cannot stand a minute with greedy humans. as for gods more death are in their names than good deeds.

Post-Mosdernist - everything has a consequences.
Still I agree - I think at the very leas dental should be shared. We all have teeth, or at least should have.
Still I want my novacaine when getting a filling - In exchange I'll let them have their God while giving in to fairness and a form of society that doesn't consider discrimination its foundation.

Probably not. People are already addicted to it, so it will survive.

what happen for the market to go up
did the unemployed get jobs
or did they find cash under the seat
they are all playing a big lying game
and deserve to be juged for all the deceit
Avatar Henderson Oct, 25 2009 at 07:40 PM
usually market goes up before unemployment goes down, and also market also goes down before unemployment goes up. The market is a leading indicator. So unemployment rate, etc.. are lagging indicators and it will take time to those indicators to start moving. And market going up is not determined by one or two persons but it is due to more demand from all the investors.
