The author didn't propose Socialism. Why do you bring it up? I believe that you bring it up because you think there are only two choices Socialism/Communism or capitalism.

I posted the article because it shows that capitalism without big government interference, has not existed since like 1920’s. I've always advocated less government, yet, as this chart shows, capitalism needs big government, or so it seems. Maybe bankers need big government.

ANYHOW, no one is proposing socialism, I lost my country to the communists, I know socialism/communism when I see it, from HAVING LOST EVERYTHING TO COMMUNISTS, BUT THE SHIRT ON MY BACK!

Sure,,, nobody is proposing socialism. Just a heavy handed government that centrally plans things to ensure that capitalism works? If you escaped a place like that, don’t bring it with you. Bring your cuisine, literature, music etc. Leave all funny ideas about government there. Ditto if your religion has ideas of theocracy.

Ahhhhhhh,, now I understand you. Yes, banks are ugly, despotic, and out of control. and indeed they are. I think your motives are sincere. But think of 1 thing, the banks now live by government and do not answer to pure market forces. This is called crony capitalism. The true capitalism we once had is a different animal.
