Penned by an anti capitalist, what would you expect him to say ?.... I don't see what he thinks the business/political model should be. I would expect Socialism.... Funny, that doesn't work either as you need other peoples money.

do you disagree that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer?

I'd agree that the rich are getting richer, but as for the poor getting poorer, I don't know. You know the old saying, it takes money to make money, thus those with money will make money, while those who don't, won't... Simple enough to understand. We need an overhaul of our system (to curb the oligarchy), but not a push towards Socialism....

There is so much wrong with this that it is quite easy to debunk. First- un bridled capitalism can be truly brutal, but we do not have such a system Second- the fact that there are abuses is not unique to capitalim, there are abues in any economic system. All thgat having been said the capitalistic economic system has brought more people out of poverty than any other system ever to have existed. Lets take a look at all the other suystems- Monarchy, Socialism(in all it's forms), Chaos, and finally anarchy. Tell me which is a better system. Capitalism or free market system is not perfect but is much better the rest. The only reason why china is successful is that it has embraed a free market system (capitalism) With regard to poverty. The average poor American lives in more square footage of living space, and has more ammenities than the average European. Not the average poor european but the average european. I am not in the 1 percent that all the politicians rail about. But I would rather live in the US than any other place. And BTW the author of the Frankenstein Economy can leave the US at any time. Maybe he should try to break into Mexico, where they put i*****l i*******ts in jail.

the "bridling" that we have on our capitalist system is called socialism.
