Earlier today i got this in the mail " Want to wake feeling good? Convert to Chirstianity" For a fee of $75! *face palm*

A few weeks earlier my repairman came over to fix my microwave and he said there was a strange substance inside causing an electrical disfunction, he charged me $300 to fix it. Instead, I repaired it myself, 2 minutes for FREE..................... By brushing it off....

Capitalism does throw this up time and time again.

Thats why you have to have competitors. The company trying to fix your car must have been a monopoly.

Yes, jbg a monopoly.

Companies tend to make things high priced because there is no competition, therefore this company is a monopoly.

No, the part about the car.

The monopoly is probable.

Capitalism fails because of greed and arrogance in people.

That is the reason why it can claim any success at all. If people were not greedy, capitalism could not function.

Still better than everything else.

And I don't really see how some stupid mail and a repairman trying to rip you off gives the impression that capitalism is a failure.

Thank you.

Capitalism takes greed, self interest, and general disregard for fellow man and channels it into a system that is the absolute best in the world at maximizing aggregate welfare.

...not that it doesn't have a myriad of problems...

There are a couple failures inherent to capitalism, actually. Globalization and the whole comparative advantage thingymajig have their downsides.

In aggregate, there is no problem with globalization, but on a more individual level it can leave vast swathes of people in the dust as comparative advantage shifts and whatnot.

If I had a dollar for every time that capitalism was blamed for the problems caused by government I'd be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.

Yes, I heard there was once a time, before things were made to where you could take them apart, and fix them, where you could re-assemble it all after taking it apart, and it would work better than it did originally, well, now everything's plastic molds where you have to by a new one.
