I disagreed with almost all of it. Foremost was this part:
And that part I agreed with.

I don't blame the natural flow of Capitalism, on the recessions and depressions. That's due more to INTERFERENCE with things, than with the principals of Capitalism itself. IMO.

It was a great response from Unbidden....but I was waiting on the next line of "That's why Socialism is the only true path".......that shoe didn't drop though.

lol

I'm no socialist. That penny will never drop.

Regarding the engaging of non-domestic markets, I was referring to how, since resources are generally finite, the problem of a strictly national economy being a closed system, the pressure that builds up via flow of capital into a minority, would be temporarily decreased via globalisation. The reason being a much broader base of competition.

We were discussing how a reversal of process might be achieved. As I see it, nonesuch can be achieved within a framework of corporate orientation that tends only to the domestic. Globalisation itself is a natural offshoot of that process. We begin with business and commerce. From there it expands to include social phenomena. It's inevitable. Because at a certain point, sufficient wealth is amassed to effect institutions that rely upon it, and it upon them. From there, it's only a matter of time before every last outlet is encompassed. These things feed into each other, and are interdependent. Infrastructure, and government itself require funding.

Even supposing we erected an entirely different government system than democracy, we'd still have the same economic model that thrives on competition and drive towards profit. It would be the same system, whether it operated beneath the auspices of democracy, communism or totalitarianism. It would make no difference, as far the outcome. The format of governance would describe only how such as ideology and social order are imposed.

You don't want globalisation? That fine. But you'd better find an alternative economic model. Like it or not, capitalism is an international beast, and shall not be denied, unless we do away with it altogether.
