I dare you to listen to this, and not fall in love with democratic socialism.

Richard Wolf discusses and defines capitalism and ends with a beautifully optimistic explanation of the alternative to our unstable system.

It's a podcast with a talk on Obamacare, and then an easy to understand explanation of what happened in Greece, and how we have what is called a "bail-in" in America (you may want to sit down when you hear about it), and then gives a quick history of the relationships of people in different economies (ie, surf/slave/employee), and finally what kind of relationship we would all have in the alternative democratic economic system. The answer is, you can make it what you want. And it's pretty cool.

4. We would have compassionate economy.

Too bad people aren't willing to be open minded to this. I'm a bit disappointed that more people didn't enjoy this thread.

I guess it only takes a few to lead. I feel we're making progress.

5. Is there a super quick summary available? nt

6. Just what I wrote in my post.

I listen to his podcasts while doing stuff. It's really one of the more valuable things to listen to. I rarely have Eureka moments, but he certainly filled in a lot of gaps, and that's after many years of studying economics.

Just his discussion of Greece is super valuable. If people realized that the banks can take our money now, if they're failing, there would be a lot of response to this subject.
