 Well, at least they're not living in cages like people do in Hong Kong. Yet.

 Helicopter money instead of negative rates, please. Companies won't lend money from banks unless they think people will buy their products.

 Democrats and Republicans are the good cop, bad cop of capitalism.

caps on caps on caps posted:

I have some questions:
1. So I create a start-up. I hire three programmers in addition to me. Now I own only 1/4 of my idea/company? Would that not reduce my incentive to start the company ex ante?
2. What gets voted on by workers and what is managed? Does everyone get the same wage? What's keeping a dominant coalition from hoarding all profits? Is there a rule on who gets to be CEO?
3. I guess we can not have capital markets because we can not invest in companies. How do investments happen? How do companies ever grow? How do we buy that new CNC machine we need but do not have the cashflow for. Debt?
4. Isn't it terribly inefficient for everyone to have the same share no matter what capital he brings into the company? If not, how will we realistically be able to control actual work contribution?
5. Is skill taken into account or does everyone get to decide on everything? Whats keeping Trump or Le Penn type of populist from killing the company for his/her own profit?
