Your not going to have one without the other, so we can argue till the cows come home but not much will change, at least not in our life time. Capitalism is broken and by itself will never work.

Their Government and culture is the result of many years of war, strife and failure. It is in essence our culture that is the problem. We have not yet been around long enough to destroy ourselves in order to refine or evolve our culture.
