[QUOTE="NightHawkeye, post: 69257203, member: 265226"] At one extreme ... free-enterprise. Some in this thread suggest that free-enterprise has caused a host of subtle worldwide problems which lurk largely under the radar, such as low-wages, poverty and workers who have been taken advantage of. At the other extreme ... government controlled enterprise. The obvious examples of this have been horrendous to the extreme. All of the greatest calamaties of the twentieth century occurred under socialist regimes ... without exception. Just the truth. Now, both of these approaches have drawn criticism in this thread, so wouldn't it be advisable to look at the criticisms leveled at each. Wouldn't that be a reasonable approach to a rational discussion on the subject? I merely ask the question, who, or what, is going to save you, or us, or the workers of the world, from the abuses of either system? How about a quick show of hands ... Who believes government will save the workers of the world from being exploited? Who believes unfettered capitalism will save workers of the world from being exploited? Who believes a moral people operating within the constraints of a competitive free-enterprise system will minimize exploitation? [/QUOTE]
