WOW.
i'm sure they're investigating what happened. they just don't want to tell the people what happened. of course most people want to talk of joe from SC than use their brains talking about anything that needs deep thought.

if you take the country as a whole, i wish they would have run the banks and destroyed our financial system. that way we could build it right from the ground up. if you that the people i'm glad that didn't happen.

i think china did it

the market anarchists talk about corporate capitalism or monopoly capitalism, which is capitalism run by the state.
Many of the wonder drugs promoted endlessly on American television, including Viagra, come from British, Swiss or Japanese labs.

There will be winners and losers in a capitalist economic system, but I'm convinced that the overall quality of life in a capitalist economic system will always be superior to that of a socialist one.
That being said, mass production manufacturing, (Fordism), is a system that will eventually fail. As Piore and Sabel opine, specialization and innovation are the only means by which an economy can continue to grow.
The democratic party and their enablers, (unions), stand in the way of specialization and innovation. Unions suck all the money they can out of a company's bottom line, inhibiting R&D. Union policies prevent workers from bettering themselves individually by suggesting of aiding in the developement of innovative systems. The union philosophy is to keep on doing the same thing for as much money as can be extorted from the company for as long as possible in order to keep those union dues rolling in to the big union poobahs who make sure that the democrat party gets enough to be able to provide their complete support.

of course its from a market anarchist website. just a piece of it:

Great Depression as “the normal outcome of the workings of the American economic system.” It was the culmination of the “stagnationist tendencies inherent in monopoly capitalism,” and far from being a deviation from economic normality was “the realization in practice of the theoretical norm toward which the system is always tending.” Fortunately for corporate capitalism, World War Two postponed the crises for a generation or so, by blowing up most of the plant and equipment in the world outside the United States. William Waddell and Norman Bodek, in The Rebirth of American Industry, describe the wide-open field left for the American mass-production model: General Motors, Ford, General Electric and the rest converted to war production and were kept busy, if not prosperous, for the next four years. When the war ended, they had vast, fully functional factories filled with machine tools. They also had plenty of cash, or at least a pocket full of government IOUs. More important, they also had the entire world market to themselves. The other emerging automobile makers, electric product innovators, consumer product companies, and machine tool builders of Europe and Asia were in ruins.
The destruction of capital postponed the crisis of overaccumulation until around 1970, when the industrial capacity of Europe and Japan had been rebuilt. By that time, according to Piore and Sabel, American domestic markets for industrial goods had become saturated.

Financialization was a way of dealing with a surplus of productive capacity, whose output the population lacked sufficient purchasing power to absorb, because almost all increases in productivity had gone to increasing the wealth of the upper class.

...the problem with debt-inflated consumer demand was was that there was barely enough demand to keep the wheels running and absorb the full product of overbuilt industry even when everyone maxed out their credit cards and tapped into their home equity to replace everything they owned every five years.

they get into this economics thingy. just as we should. i hadn't realized that the US economy was the worlds only functioning economy at the end of WW2. and it shifted our economy one way.
