Br Warrior1, So inshort you are saying that whats happening in US is not due to the results of capitalism? I agree, there is no country in the world that has true capitalism, its a utopia. It can only be achieved without border (no need for lobbying, legislation, complete currencies convertibility, etc), which is all impossible tasks and I don't neccessary agree with a capitalist system without any compassion. Since you claim to have learned about capitalism, you must also have studied about coporate governance - developing programs to benefit the society and people at large. Do you know why BP's logo is GREEN, when they are probably one of the worst polluters of the world? Same with any large multinational you see, its all about $$$ with no regards of where the money is coming from. You would have also studied about the bottom of pyramid, you sure know what that is correct? Capitalism is a mirage - a lie, which the West shows to gullible developing countries to have them following like childrens in pide-pipper story.
Actually interest is one of the greatest enabler - a driver, of capitalism that exists today. Without interest there can be no capitalism in its current form.
