Entrepreneurs have always strived to produce their goods (or services) with less expenditure of capital and labor than their competitiors. Always. Well nothing is more "socialized" than capitalism, advances in productivity are based on the cooperative action of groups of people working together. What I mean by the collapse of socialism is the collapse of the state controlled economies of the former communist block, you remember that empire which covered the area of the planet from Berlin to Kamchatka -- and while I agree that that the interventions of governments into the workings of the market economy make you wonder, no one believes in socialism anymore, not even the Chinese communist party.
