Gordon Gekko *unknowningly* describes the problems facing today's private sector, while blasting the bureaucracy responsible for said problems in the first place. A classic speech, both in film and, also, within economic thought.

This is for people who think Saipan is a free-market.

Here's another link on the subject.

I recently published a VERY short and simple book on economic theory. Click here and give it a chance.

    To the person who posted this, you do realize that Oliver Stone intended Gordon Gekko to be a satire of 80's businessmen, and that he didn't agree with this speech at all?

    Crony capitalism is what we have, am I confusing our crony capitalism with some non-crony capitalism of a parallel dimension or . . .

    That's the only "capitalism" You've ever had in the USA, crony capitalism.

    I feel your frustration with these psuedo intellectuals. They should read a damn economics book before they spew this nonsense!

    Right, most innovators due it for the enjoyment, but research and scientific discovery takes lots of money. Who gets to decide what institutions get the dollars? You do! Computers are available to people because companies invested tons of dollars on researching how to produce the fastest most efficient machine. Who decided that they should have that money for research? Potential consumers! Please read an economics books before you spew this nonsense.

    The vast majority of the meaningful quotes from the authors I've cited (Henry Hazlitt, Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, etc.) are longer than 500 characters. I'm not going to copy&paste material from them on a 500 character comment box when you can easily look them up yourself, but you've already said you don't plan on doing that because everything they say is Jewish Zionist propaganda.

    I'll give you one more chance. If your next comment is not a meaningful argument, you're blocked.

    Yeah, so, are you actually going to make a meaningful argument, or are you going to keep spewing incredibly moot (and quite frankly retarded) nonsense? DMT and psychedelics in general have absolutely nothing to do with economics. If you're going to seriously argue (as the Zeitgeist people argue) that economics is invalid, you're going to have to deal with the arguments put forth by economists. Period. That's called intellectual integrity, which I can tell you know nothing about.

    Umm, dude, what the hell does DMT and Mushrooms have to do with economics? Absolutely nothing. You've shown yourself to be nothing more than a racist, wanna-be psychonaut having ass-clown who most likely is ranting about the inequity of our system because you got killed in the trading market for buying bad stocks. Seriously, go whine to your mom about this kind of stuff. We don't care, and we have absolutely no use for your incomprehensible drivel.

    "Hey maya monkey, I've told You before . . . I know EVERYTHING."

    Is basic logic included in that broad category of EVERYTHING? Because if it is, I've already proven you wrong. And while it is true Ludwig von Mises was Jewish, the same can't be said for Henry Hazlitt. And, are you seriously going to dismiss someone's work based on race? That's auto-fail... congratulations, you've proven yourself to be completely fucking retarded!

    by the way, Your entire perception of this system of inequity aka the global market system of usury aka memon system has been indoctrinated into Your by Your "education" . . . the more academicly indoctrinated like You will never see the truth or think independently or critically to acquire such vision. So stay clear of people like me . . . until You take some DMT technology into Your dome or take 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms in quite darkness and squeegee that third fucking eye, YOU < I AM
