    Absolutely. Our kids NEED to know how capitalism raises entire societies out of poverty better than any other system - AINEC.
    Capitalism doesn't raise entire societies out of poverty. Capitalism's biggest fans don't make that argument. Didn't any of you girls take any economics courses?

    Anyway, the converse of Black Lives Matter is that they don't.
    Then what does?

    And, in fact capitalism’s biggest fans, indeed even its intellectual antithesis, say otherwise. Even Marx acknowledged capitalism’s unique ability to reduce and often entirely limit, scarcity.

    Interested in your serious response here.
    Regulated capitalism with progressive taxation can do it, but that's not what the TugCon universe is preaching. Unregulated, barely taxed capitalism is their ideal, and that does NOT lift "entire societies out of poverty". As every economist worth a damn knows, unregulated capitalism explodes like a diesel engine without a governor.

    The funny thing is, the die hard anarcho-capitalists here think capitalism is fragile. But capitalism doesn't whither in the presence of regulation; it thrives. It does so because it is vital and it can harness human motivations to increase wealth for a society, but not without taking its classic problems into account as well.
    So how does it work then that Trump took over, immediately deregulated, and the unemployment rate was the lowest we've seen in 50 years while business boomed?

    Unemployment was already declining and business had been getting better in an uninterrupted fashion for five years. Low unemployment, btw, was largely a function of demographics and labor scarcity, which was already threatening recession before the pandemic ever hit. (The current recession began in February, btw, which isn't well explained by Covid.)

    True, who can forget about well capitalism works in countries like North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Zimbabwe, or the Soviet Union. Capitalism thrives in regulation!!!
    So much for serious responses.

    I am dumbfounded at this guy. I also beat you by 53 seconds. "Heavy regulation is the engine of growth!" - said no economist ever
    Sure, obviously when I said regulation is necessary I was advocating criminalizing private industry, said no MBA ever.

    I love a booming economy. That's why I voted for Trump

    Biden's ban on fracking alone is an economy killer

    Despite it being a regulation
