Human-Centered Capitalism

[floppyboo]

17. but more seriously

That kind of capitalist theory that you write about only works if there is a healthy consumer population. By driving prices down to help the consumer, the first and last to be on the chopping block is often the employee/consumer. So you shoot yourself in the foot.
There are some fun videos that explain the basic differences between Keynsian (think FDR-demand side) and Freidman (think Regan-supply side) economics.
They're both imperfect, but seems Keynes has the better track record for real (ie non-deficit) economic growth.

also - supply economics assumes fair competition. Fair competition requires regulation. It also assumes longevity (resource management/climate regulation) This is far from the label of socialism - but you're going to hear it over and over again as government takeover for the next 20 some months. Ugh!
