Pick up baseball, football and basketball games were the activities of the neighborhood....Hide and go seek and capture the flag at night during the summer.....
We live compartmentalized lives now....
Kids are definitely better educated than we were, back then we were No1 in the world education wise...Now I think we are around 15th......
Dropping off the kids every morning I am in awe of them....We need to constantly bare in mind that the world's we make is the world we leave for them
zab, This is a wander. You know we are on the same side.
The people, or the system. Must a personal position on corporate greed be in accord with the individual's position on capitalism. I mean how does one reconcile a strident anti-corporate greed position with a fervent American capitalist position. Could the problem of corporate greed be solved within America's capitalist structure. Not meant as questions put to be answered, more as wandering wonderings.
"Inequity is part of the game of Capitalism, of course tax breaks that only benefit the rich could go away. But daily battles are part of the game of Capitalism. Besides I do not see any other form of government that is better."
zab, Would you see the social democracies as having a different form of government. The Nordic model is certainly seen by many as a different form of government.
The Nordic model comprises the economic and social policies as well as typical cultural practices common to the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden).[1] This includes a comprehensive welfare state and multi-level collective bargaining[2] based on the economic foundations of social corporatism,[3][4] and a commitment to private ownership within a market-based mixed economy[5] — with Norway being a partial exception due to a large number of state-owned enterprises and state ownership in publicly listed firms.[6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model
The Nordic model is underpinned by a mixed-market capitalist economic system that features high degrees of private ownership,[35][36] with the exception of Norway which includes a large number of state-owned enterprises and state ownership in publicly listed firms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model#Economic_system
Would it be right to say it is a different form of capitalism.
Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism
Does the definition of capitalism mean the capitalist corporation must be run for maximum profit.
What the Right Gets Wrong About Socialism By Erlend Kvitrud [...] The share of total U.S. income owned by the richest 1 percent of the population has been surging since the 1980s. It has now reached 20 percent. Scandinavia’s 1 percent bags less than half this share, ranging from 6 percent in Denmark to about 9 percent in Sweden. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ranks each Scandinavian nation among the top 10 with regards to both economic equality .. https://data.oecd.org/inequality/income-inequality.htm .. and absence of poverty .. https://data.oecd.org/inequality/poverty-rate.htm . The United States is on the opposite end of both spectrums.
