Welcome to the thread Myra,

In my opinion investment Capitalism, industrial Capitalism, is indeed a ravenous beast. It needn't be that way, but that is what it has become.

Given the bounce in the markets today (Oct. 13, 2008), I am convinced that "free markets" will be our ticket to ultimate slavery. They are anything but "free." As I said earlier, I am more concerned about the attempts to keep our economic system limping along more than I am about some superimposed system out of nowhere.

How will safe/radiant zones in the future - with a couple of hundred people to feed and clothe - efficiently and fairly produce and distribute goods, avoiding the pitfalls of Capitalism? Are we headed to the rebirth of the exchange economy?
