Responsible capitalism doesnt exist. We have had over 300 years of responsible capitalism. Its responsible right now and always has been to its owners. It is functioning exactly as intended, that is to maximize wealth in as few of hands possible. There is no "ethical" capitalism.

Responsible capitalism doesnt exist

No, but well regulated capitalism is a close approximation.

Well regulated?

So you are telling me we need a system that needs so many regulations to make it almost fair but is still master slave relationship when it comes to outcomes.

Why not have a system that is equitable for everyone? Why not have a system where everyone has what they need to survive? Why not build a system that doesnt need regulations just to work.

By the way, what you are talking about is called REFORM(as in reforming capitalism). What I'm talking about is revolution.

Over one hundred years ago someone posed the same question and wrote a short thesis on the subject. What she came up with as a result of her queries is that reform doesnt work and the only solution to the question of capitalism was revolution not reform.

We have been here before and the outcome is still the same. Can we grow up this time and make the right choice, only time will tell.

I never claimed it was the ideal.

But it would be an improvement over what we are confronted with now.
