Capitalism worked to some extent and for some people, mainly capitalists, during a short period of time, something like 100 - 150 years. Capitalism replaced feudalism, a system that didn't work anymore at all, it did of course only for a fe

"Capitalism works because the best businesses succeed while the worst fail." So Microsoft, Wal-Mart, McDonald's and Exxon are the best?

I agree with you but you make one mistake. The Cuban system is capitalism as well, state capitalism where all capital is accumulated and managed by the state. They might call it communism or socialism to fool the people there but in both s

This piece has been written by an incredibly arrogant misanthrope maybe even a fascist. It has no substance, just opinion. It does not even define what "stupid" means. Low IQ? Ignorance? Lack of understanding of human relations (like in "sa

When you take a look at the map you only can think: This can't be all of it. Some areas have no high speed rail at all and the areas that have are often isolated from each other. In Germany we have high speed rail all over the place, in Fra

Yeah, now they're buried somewhere in advanced features or the invisibly being used. In the same amount of time they probably would have created some real product by now. Huge corporations stifle innovation.

Microsoft bought Powerset to waste it. It's such a shame. Without them the Powerset team probably would have a fully functional search engine by now. This is what I don't understand about promising startups: How can you throw away your prod

"the studies found that children using the software scored no better than peers who did not have access to the software" Yeah, but at least they know how to use computers while those without OLPCs do not.
