Anna,
A gold-based economy is yet another topic. For purposes of this discussion, money is a scorecard for the amount of goods/services produced. In that sense, capitalism "values" art; artists are some of the richest people. Are you also trying to say that this system doesn't value the spiritual? Wrong again. Capitalism values anything that people value - the more free the market, the less the difference. If you disagree, please point to non-capitalist places that have bigger churches or more people with more time and money to pursue all sorts of traditional and non-traditional "spiritual" goals. -Mark _____ This would be only correct if money was backed by the real goods. Otherwise money is as good as the paper it is written one. This is actually the situation that USA is now in. What about other values? A good model must also acknowledge spiritual needs. Where does an artist fit in your society? Anna _____ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
