The problem really isn't that Capitalism is a totally free market, as you seem to be hinting at, it's that it is in fact *not* a free market. It concentrates power around those who *have* capital, and therefore works against the free flow of trade, and also against innovation.
100% agree. IMHO, ideally economy should based on effort, not capital. This will work well with free market. In fact, I think a economy based on effort will be an utopia. Unfortunately, effort is hard to measure. It is true that there is small correlation between effort and gaining capital. That's why controlled capitalism can work, albeit just Ok. -- Stephan Paul Arif Sahari Wibowo _____ _____ _____ _____ /____ /____/ /____/ /____ _____/ / / / _____/ http://www.arifsaha.com/ -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
