Summary: read rather than rant
Comment: This is a place for reviews, but since this book rating
has been poisoned by a person who just wants to regurgitate
the same tired cliches from the liberal establishment I couldnt
resist.
The hope for our future as a country, a people, indeed a race,
depends on finding a way beyond the endless war, suffering, and
destruction of our planet that we see all around us.
Its time for going beyond the fear our leaders use to keep the
old game going, when they say "here be serpents" that probably
means there's some useful things to learn there. I DARE you to
go read it and think for yourself..

Summary: Reinventing a bad idea
Comment: Most critiques of capitalism are not critiques of capitalism at all, but rather attacks on privilege and the privileged. Well I'm a vehement capitalist and I don't care for the privileged few who think it their right to make the "rules of the game", either.
Market socialism is not an answer to the failed socialist experiments of the past, but just a way to destroy freedom with a flanked attack as opposed to the planned economies of the past which destroyed markets (an hence freedom) with a frontal assault.
Better men have a say on this topic as well.
"Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself."
- Milton Friedman
"All people, however fanatical they may be in their zeal to disparage and to fight capitalism, implicitly pay homage to it by passionately clamoring for the products it turns out."
- Ludwig von Mises
I wonder how Mr. Callinicos gets from place to place, or what he wears, or who built the home in which he lives, or who produced the food he eats? It never ceases to amaze me that the leftists who rail against capitalism, ignorantly partake dialy in the wonderous wealth and comfort it creates. If capitalism is so evil, build your own home, sew your own clothes, assemble your own car, and grow your own food.
As a final word:
"Classic liberals abhor the extreme ends of the political economic spectrum, those who would take by force that to which they are not entitled, the collectivists, and those who would use their economic and political power to limit the opportunities of others, the privileged."
- Michael Balongie
