Three Meanings of Capitalism

Capitalism

The term "capitalism" is often used interchangeably with "democracy," "freedom," and "free enterprise," but such usage is misleading and inaccurate. There are at least three major meanings of the word "capitalism." First, aristocratic capitalism is where the laws treat those with high levels of capital differently than those without. In the U.S. Commercial Code, for example, investors with a high net worth are allowed the best investments. It is illegal for companies to offer such investments to those with low or middle net worth. The idea is that government must protect unsophisticated investors from debilitating losses, but the flip side of the coin is that such policies help the rich get richer and prohibit the rest from such returns. Under this model, the gap between the rich and poor continues to expand. Second, democratic capitalism is pure free enterprise, where the government requires all laws to treat everyone equally--regardless of their economic status. The tenets of such capitalism include representative government, free commercial interactions, entrepreneurialism, and limited government. This is the type of capitalism that the American founders promoted. Third, mercantile capitalism occurs where the government is the major investor and where high levels of regulation keep even non-governmentally owned companies under the thumb of the government. This is often called state capitalism, and it was widely popular in the era of British dominance and is now the system of choice in many Asian nations. When most Americans say "capitalism" they are referring to the democratic capitalism, but the United States is now following aristocratic capitalism. Indeed, most leaders of the current Right consistently promote aristocratic capitalism while the Left is attempting to shift the United States to mercantile capitalism. There are few pushing the real solution: a return to true democratic capitalism, or free enterprise. The thesaurus lists the following as synonyms of capitalism: "free enterprise, private enterprise, and entrepreneurship." Again, these meanings are only consistent with free enterprise, not with aristocratic or mercantile capitalism.  - Oliver DeMille

The Fall of the Republican Party

The Economist recently pointed out that the future of the Republican Party is doomed unless a fundamental change occurs. By 2039 the number of Latinos in the United States is expected to double, yet today a Republican candidate cannot get elected in many places (including the U.S. presidency) without believing "that the 12m illegal immigrants, even those who have lived in America for decades, must all be sent home." These two trends are diametrically opposed. Either Republicans must embrace and attract Latino voters, or it must dwindle as a political party. Whatever you believe about immigration (I say we should open the floodgates to as much legal immigration as possible), this is a significant trend. The longer Republicans wait to become attractive to this growing group of voters (who happen to support strong family values, hard work and are strongly anti-abortion), the harder the shift will be. Indeed, if such a change doesn't occur, a third party will emerge and the Republican Party will lose its place in the top two parties. - Oliver DeMille

The Era of Government Overreach via Oliver DeMille

"Decades from now, historians will puzzle over why President Obama, despite deep agonizing...accepted the deployment of 100,000 troops to Afghanistan nearly ten years after 9/11, and over why policymakers spoke as if the fate of the civilized world depended on the pacification of Kandahar and Marja." -Robert D. Blackwill, Foreign Affairs Does Washington have its fingers in far too many pies? At a time where the economy is struggling, not to mention a growing number of Americans, are there too many projects, programs and plans? Do we need a government that does a few key things, and does them really well, more than ever in American history? As more individuals, families and businesses are getting "back to basics," isn't it time for government to do the same?
