    I’d argue a mix of policies is the best outcome. Despite the praise of Capitalism, every modern country employs both capitalist and socialist policies.

    Idolizing these structures is problematic because unregulated they tend to spiral out of control, since at the end of the day they’re man-made economic policies, and self-regulation isn’t something most people do easily without consequence.

      I totally agree. I still go back and forth on universal health care which is not a capitalism principle. We will always need incentives for people to acheive to better themselves. But there should be an agreed upon set of basic things everyone gets from the payment of our taxes.
