Five Ways to Ruin an Economy

[Half-Century Man]

1. Corporate troll

The truth is the American version of capitalism is a nightmare for 99% of the population.
There is no and never has been a free market.
John Stewart Mills was naive, because given a chance most fiscally driven people will gleefully let people die to enhance profit.
Privatizing traditional governmental functions is stupid, because why substitute a governmental bureaucracy with a corporate one? You can control the costs with a governmental one.

And the best way to protect economies? Undo the vast American Intelligence apparatus which has worked mainly for corporate America for the last 70 years. Shackle the international banks. Make sure the most powerful entities in any country is the government of that country, seconded only by international responsibilities to other governments. International influence should never be trusted to profit motives.
