Capitalism to the extreme

1 pointsby rayhanoalmost 13 years ago
So we've taken capitalism to the extreme and become a consumer led society.<p>We track spending as a measure of growth, which then becomes the basis for whether we are doing well or not. Funny, isn't it?<p>Is there an end goal? Nope, just keep spending please.<p>If you run out of cash, borrow.<p>If you cannot borrow anymore, don't worry, we will print more notes to devalue your debt. So all those who have savings either lose their money while it sits in the bank, or they spend it.<p>What do they say? If you cannot beat them, join them?<p>So, we are all consumers. Anyone know what item we consume the most?
