dadmonson Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 How would Capitalism, Mixed Economy, Socialism, and/or Communism act if they were people? And why do you say that? You can even throw in a mixed economy moving towards Capitalism/Socialism/Communism For example since a mixed economy is such a hodgepodge of controls and freedoms I think he would act like a schizo... I think history has shown that as well. What do you think... Would Capitalism act like Mark Zuckerberg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadmonson Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) On second thought, can a comparison even be made? I know that Capitalism would be run by his constitution/moral principles and not by mob rule/other people's opinions, fears, doubts, whims, delusions, emotions etc. Again, you can find your own way of comparing a person and a particular social system..

William O Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I think we can use Rand's novels to get some idea of how capitalism and socialism would act. Capitalism would act like Howard Roark or John Galt, and socialism would act like Ellsworth Toohey or James Taggart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Morris Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 A mixed economy would act like someone who has cancer, but has no understanding whatsoever of this, even if a few people are trying to tell him or her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 From the name, I'm thinking Cap-italism would probably wear a cap. Mixed-economy would mix it up a bit. Social-ism would want to be friends with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
