Why not use the democratic political process to apply the democratic principle directly to capitalism? I've developed a model for such an economy. (It can be seen at institutejustice.com.) Such an economy would still have private property and would not have any limit on income. Also, all decisions regarding the production and selling of consumer goods and services would be in private hands. Yet the economy would have justice, stability, and at least a chance for environmental sustainability, with no involuntary unemployment or poverty, and no taxes. All of those benefits (and more) would follow from the institutional structure of the economy, not actions by any government.yearwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061067439426147583noreply@blogger.com
