The economy (and humans) work based on incentives. Provide the right incentives and things will go the way you want. (Think about the consequences of the incentives of paying teenage girls if they have babies and aren't married.)
None of them got that way by "capitalism".
These economies reflect the lack of legal protection for private property, which means there is no incentive to build wealth, since it can be taken from you without due process. It is a LACK of legal protection FOR CAPITALISTS which creates the polarization of wealth and poverty. In a society where property is sacred, there is no need to redistribute the wealth, since wealth is naturally attracted to the highest rate of return, which means invested in new business.
Sheeeesh. Is this a conservative board, or a Marxist one?
