ideal economic system?

[mrsupercrunk]

hi, i'm at my friend's pc and i thought about what the ideal economic system would look like. After about five minutes of thinking all i've come up with was that it should reward ambition and innovation in a degree comparable to that of capitalism while providing for those who would otherwise be starving. all i know now is that america is not that system, though hopefully when i'm president(vote jonathan in 2020) i'll have everything planned out. thanks for your time.

A more pressing question is, to me, the ideal human society. Economy is not an end in, and of, its self.

I take it you are 17 years old

Yes, he is 17 (He'll be 18 in May). He's my friend and he was at my computer. He just left and went back to his hood. This guy's a genius, seriously. I don't know if I agree with all of his political ideas, but I love him to death anyway.

I still maintian that it is not a lack of available food for those who starve that is the problem, but the delivery mechanisms that fail the starving and the rich alike. World hunger, like homelessness, is a political and not an economic problem. The food and homes exist and are provided: powers such as tribal and national governments prevent these from reaching those in need.

Don't let Jonathan give up on that dream. We need him more than ever.

[Sasafrás]

Shut the hell up, sabre. You're such a dork!

as far as food in the US is concerned, their is plenty of food. this country has storage places in which they let food rot because if their is to much in the market, the prices of that food will drop, and that means bad business. simple supply and demand. i forget when that started, but my US history teacher last year was a socialist, so he lectured to us on many things that other students didnt get the chance t learn about. i have also read that somewhere.

You know what they say Rainbeaux ,

The first stage is denial, then comes acceptance....


Rainbeaux and Jonathan, sittin in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g... :)

[Sasafrás]

So funny sabre! My name is Shayla, by the way.

Jonathan already knows how I feel about him... It's not that serious!

Supermodel,

Must admit, I am trying it hard to quanitify who has made the most naive contribution in this thread, but I guess yours just about tops it.

"It is not an economic" problem. Ooof!
El Che is being a bit naive too. The political contains the economic interests, and these interests are at the heart of what causes poverty and starvation around the globe.
At least La Rainbeaux is standing up for a right! You are divorcing poverty from economic interests embodied in the politics of international and national politics. El Che is right to place the emphasis upon the political, but your apportionment of blame is something out of some "well-meaning" liberal school of "balanced journalism".
See the blame in its roots international economic hegemony of the BORGS upheld by the political governments acting in the interests of the BORGS.

Be afraid, be very afraid...

Resistance is Futile!

May the Force with U!

La Rainbeaux,

I mean U ought to be able to have a sense of humour about romance without someone trying to embarass U about it!
Seems fair dinkums to me, but then I guess Sabre was trying to be witty too. Prefer your sense of humour.

May the Force be with U!

Ideal economic system? Communism, of course. That's a stupid question.
