I just want to be clear that my own position is not one that calls for an end to capitalism per se. Rather, I want to see an end to the drive towards completely deregulated and laissez-fair capitalism. This particular flavour of capitalism does not sit well with my humanist sensibilities.
For further clarity, I am not looking for an answer in the great bug-a-boo of communism either. To my mind they are at either ends of the economic spectrum from each other and in their orthodoxy are essentially bankrupt.
What I seek... what I always seek... is a balance between the two poles.
History has shown us that both extremes are problematic (to say the least).
