Is there another economic model beyond capitalism, apart from socialism (which seems to lag behind its tormentor)? Has capitalism absorbed the socialist critique to the degree that the socialist critique no longer matters outside academic circles? I'm no economist or economic thinker, but I've been thinking about this quite a lot lately, and knew that many of you here would provide intelligent, probing answers. Thanks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>DP</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
