Capitalism is like a pregnancy; there is nothing in the middle.

You noticed that the pendulum has swung, but you do not see what the pendulum is. It is not in quasi-monopolistic corporations built on original ideas, like Microsoft, Apple, or Amazon. It is when these corporations collaborate with the government to strengthen their market position. Some ways of doing it could be behind noble goals. I present one example in my article, “Socialists are taking over Wall Street.” The “excesses” of capitalism happen when governments get involved.

My essay, “Capitalism versus socialism, the only meaningful choice we all face,” can give you a better understanding of my reasoning behind my comment.

BTW, I value your response.
