They simply deal in pieces of paper that have no face value, for extreme sums of money. It's kind of like a throwback to Lenin in Imperialism really, is the state really in control? do economic actors really make rational decisions based on what is best for their capitalist business model of combining capital and labor, or are their higher actors in charge. these financiers who produce nothing yet deal in huge sums of money. surely this money attracts the attention of policymakers more so then the normal profits of capitalist firms? <br />But at the same time is that not still capitalism. I guess if money is Capital, and financiers are trading in liquid capital then yes capitalism still runs, if not surely it ended more like 1880Simon Rickenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383232122550438940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533727265644322893.post-48978641439472163962011-12-01T10:18:06.568-08:002011-12-01T10:18:06.568-08:00I liked the kittens and the songI liked the kittens and the songDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678885297863073477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533727265644322893.post-52931556516333234372011-12-01T10:06:25.077-08:002011-12-01T10:06:25.077-08:00My seminar tutor said today that capitalism ended ...My seminar tutor said today that capitalism ended in the 1920s and was replaced by regulated-entrepreneurialism.<br /><br />discuss.Stev0https://www.blogger.com/profile/06121526566332772308noreply@blogger.com
