its restricted but it lobbies the state
the money constantly enters
only the big corporations do
so is it really restricted?
and that is an issue
It is government lobbying that has corporations hiring cheap illegal labor
business subsidization should be done away with, and so should lobbying
or is it the other way around the corporations lobbying the governmet with their superpacks and big money in order to increase the immigration so they can improve their bottom line
That one
1920s America faced what would be considered actual unrestricted corporate influence
and that was bad, and the Progressives thought they dealt with it
but they really only caused other problems lol
corporatism =/= capitalism
they solved nothing
they just shifted the issues
not real capitalism
you keep pointing at this thing, that isn't what that thing is.
capitalism is a free and open market -- corporatism is not all of capitalism
there are different degrees and aspects to such a concept
it is flawed, as all human institutions are, and some types are better and worse than others, but it is by far the best socioeconomic system devised thus far
the concept behing capitalism is free enterprise
Capitalism arose in the 1600's
for whatever reason, a lot of people seem to misconstrue capitalism as pure corporatism or something it is not
yes, it is
do you agree?
free enterprise and private ownership of industry
so the state can't control what the corp does
so if they wanted to import immigrants there's nothing the state can do
under laissez-faire capitalism, yes, but free enterprise =/= total 100% freedom of corporation
free enterprise is the freedom to choose your service and not be forced into one monopoly
(((ayn rand)))
there should be regulations to the market, but it should not be limited as to hinder private ownership and your economic freedoms
agreed
but that's easily subverted
its what you had
and the corporationism easily took hold
it is not only corporations, though -- they do play a part, but the Government is at major fault as well
agreed as well
the concept of "too big to fail" creates problems
