Reply #2: Capitalism is an unsustainable economic system [View All]

[Spider Jerusalem]

it's time to look to a post-capitalist model in the developed world, honestly. The basic assumption capitalist economies make of continually increasing economic growth is totally unrealistic given the very real constraints of limited resources and the fact that we live in a finite world. And I'd argue that the US model in fact represents pure capitalism or something much closer to it than in any other country; capitalism constrained by regulations, by a social safety net, by encouragement to sustainable development, as in much of Europe, is something else again.
