Q:Would you sacrifice the ideals of capitalism for another economic system?
-Israel Diaz
A: I would only sacrifice the ideals of capitalism if and only if there was another economic system that would be better. I do not hold any emotional attachment to concepts such as systems. In my opinion, if there is another system that would improve the economy and government, we should go full steam ahead. Now saying this, it is indeed proven that capitalism is indeed a flawed system. Pure capitalism holds the risk of monopolies and the possibility of taking over the government. So, if this is the case, should it not be the logical choice to make changes to the economic system? Although the reason changes aren't being implemented is probably mostly due to the corporations taking control of the government, I am sure a part of this unwillingness to change has to do with the idea that capitalism is somehow the only way to run an economy. Capitalism is good, Capitalism is right, Capitalism is Patriotic!
Q: Why is it that we view capitalism as morally correct and the only proper way? What are the reasons that make us unwilling to change this system?
