I haven't been able to catch up with this thread, but I don't want to
abandon it either because when I left it appeared that I was the sole
defender of capitalism. So in order to get back on track, can someone
summarize what the issues are that are being covered in this thread.
I know the general topic is capitalism vs. socialism, with some
arguing for a hybrid of the two. What's really the fundamental
argument though? Using the principle of charity with both theories,
how would we characterize the desired goals of capitalism and
socialism. Lets begin by ignoring the rhetoric associated with each
side, and begin by placing them each in their own light as charitably
as possible. What is it that capitalism claims is its goal? What is
it that socialism claims is its goal? What is it that a hybrid system
claims is its goal? I have a hunch that they will all cover some
common ground as to what they hope to obtain. The argument will
probably be whether that system can really obtain the goals it claims
to espouse. Any takers?
