-Caveat Lector-
Let me propose an alternative to acrimonious argument, an unhappy
hangover from the Cold War. The Cold War proved that in sheer economic
terms SELF-identified capitalist and socialist systems worked about
equally well. The GNP of the USSR doubled about every decade and that may
be slightly ahead of the "West". It wasn't economics which caused the
USSR to reinvent itself. It was a deliberately planned policy of
perestroika-glasnost-demokratisatsya. Now it goes under President
Yeltsyn's "Multi-Polar World" slogan.
My proposal is that the US and USSR have a little contest in the High
Arctic of Canada. The region is in effect the border of Russia and
North America. Each will design a model sustainable city of at least
100,000 population for the High Arctic. Let us see if the best that each
system can now muster will solve the problems of unemployment, absolute
poverty, etc. Sometimes it takes a fresh start on a new field of snow....
The capitalism vs. socialism debate is far from over and I want to see a
working example of the best that each can come up with. Which, by the way
is Mondragon? (See link from http://users.uniserve.com/~culturex). With
30,000 worker-owner-shareholders is it capitalist or socialist?
