    everyone who answers or lurks is on a ing computer so capitalism obviously works. if it didn't then everyone would be watching a gov't official on a computer while standing in line for bread.

    Better than the alternatives, but failures like monopolies are inevitable.

    It takes a fine balance between decent regulation and a free hand. Total lassez-faire is a proven failure, and over-regulation is almost as bad.

    It is a tool, no more no less. Many on the right treat it like some infallible deity, and many of the left treat it like a irredeemable devil. It is neither.

    I don't know about that. In concept, I don't think it is. Once it passed through the hands of the interpreters, however, it can look and feel pretty much that way.

    I wouldn't call a monopoly a failure. It's simply running the table. Just as the Warriors aren't a failure if they run off 6 in a row by severe stacking of the deck. It might be bad for the NBA overall, but that doesn't make the team or monopoly a failure. I've never seen a failed business that's cornered the market well enough to have a monopoly.

    So protecting yourself from being kicked in the nuts is failing? It's not the monopoly that fails, it's the compe ion that either sold out to them or made ty business decisions that caused them to go under. Look at Microsoft, for example. What operating system even comes close to competing with Windows in the market? Is that the fault of Microsoft that no other company has refused to be bought out by them, or that their anti-trust practices where they do things like give away software packages other companies were trying to sell, are those somehow signs of failure? An overpowering en y isn't a failure. The failure is the people who allowed themselves to be put into that position. Then again sometimes something comes along and it becomes a necessity (like a telephone) and the company that created it doesn't want to share the technology or their infrastructure. So they can price fix and do other nasty things and you can do nothing about it, but you still have the ability to go start your own company.

    So yeah, some regulation is fine if it means a healthier economy overall, but that doesn't make the regulated "failures".

    The compe ion that failed is the definition of monopoly, silly.

    oh, and we’re to blame for everything leading up to and after that. And there’s nothing to be done about it.

    Good story. Are you familiar with the first half of the 20th century? Anti-trust law?

    Thamks in advance for your non-response so far.

    The failure is not with the company but with the system that allows monopolies to form.

    I agree that coalition almost grants you an undeserved heir of dignity.
