Working Assets Co-founder Peter Barnes discusses the title and major themes of his book, "Capitalism 3.0: A Guide to Reclaiming the Commons."

-----

Working Assets Co-founder and successful journalist Peter Barnes details a revolutionary market-based approach to "upgrading" capitalism in "Capitalism 3.0." He presents an original framework for the future that retains society's common heritage and unique cultural character by creating a "we" sector to counterbalance the current, corrosive "me" sector.

Peter Barnes is the co-founder and former president of Working Assets Long Distance. In 1995, he was named Socially Responsible Entrepreneur of the Year for Northern California. He is the author of "Who Owns the Sky?" and "Pawns: The Plight of the Citizen-Soldier," and has written for Newsweek, The New Republic, the New York Times, and many other publications.

China is not socialist. It uses the name Communist Party of China to retain authoratarian power over the country politically. However, the socialist aspects in China are lacking, there is no universal health care and there is not a social welfare infrastructure like you see in Sweden. Since the 90s China has thrown away socialism in favor of market economics, which is swiftly leading to corporate capitalism, but is strictly watched over by the CPC. But corruption is too common! Money Talks!

Corporativism is a real danger.

What happens today is that corporations control the government that controls the population ... as a plutocracy

When it should be all the other way around.

I really don't think there is democracy in a monetary system -_-

@Imperialself "socialisms problems could be solved with the elimination of laziness "

socialist problems can also be eliminated with automatization and robotics :>

@beesleeper This is true, but the powers necessary for a government control of the means of production are definitly not granted by the constitution either.

[beesleeper]

Americans can, and will, achieve freedom from capitalism and freedom from capitalist exploitation of workers and the natural world. It's absolutely necessary. And the Constitution says nothing about having to tolerate capitalism. Not a single word.

capitalism problems could be solved with an ethics class. socialisms problems could be solved with the elimination of laziness . communism you could try the ethics class but you would wind up getting a midnight nock on your door. in conclusion which is the easiest to fix

[rictorn]

as paul foot identified capitalism is not unique to althortarian regimes but an althoratarian regime is the ideal place for capitalism, to work so much more efficient and effectively

@BluePhilDog

You've got to be kidding me. I go to your channel and there is not a single video concerning economics or finance, and you have the balls to tell me to do some research? How bout you do some research, you can start on my channel, where there are fifty videos concerning economics, finance, the great depression and the current crisis.
