Capitalism is an economic system, and has proven to work extremely well. It is only when government is permitted to exercise control over the free market that problems have arisen – witness the current financial mess. The Fed is not a free market – capitalist – entity, it is just the opposite. It was the Fed, and the politicians who corrupted the system, all for the love of money. The real problem with money is it is invisible. Democracy = Money. Get your politicians out of the market!

Speak immaturely, with ad hominem attacks, to your adversarial debater and end it with a “hahahahahah.” Never mind debating with facts and observable economic data supported by sound economic theory. Continue to speak so eloquently about the status of our economy and how wrong Austrian are and you’ll soon have all of us believing you.

The current system is NOT capitalism. It is “Financial Capitalism”. more akin to “Corporatism”. This is NOT capitalism.

Of course the “current system” is not pure capitalism. But your distinction between a “Financial Capitalism” and Capitalism is mere semantics, longspear. Capitalism is a financial / economic system and is not practised anywhere in a generic sense since 1913. If you mean to associate capitalism with some political agenda, then you have fallen into the same systems-trap the Marxists can’t seem to see past. So have fun with your silly arguments. But don’t bother me with them.
