  • Because prices are set according to supply and demand in a truly free market.

  • @Bastiat90 - really? Explain to us why the LTV is so wrong then. It's easy to dismiss something without elaborating in a logical way.

  • What Marx said about capitalism bears little resemblance to what his followers claimed he said about it. Marx praised capitalism for destroying medieval feudalism and saw it as one more step on the road to socialism and then communism. Even so, his economic contributions remain wrong. The LTV is about as serious as the phlogiston theory of fire.

  • @theH0UNDSofD00M yes i agree with the critique of capitalism i fully admit that it isnt a perfect system either but atleast i have a chance of making it big if i work hard enough. thats what i like about capitalism you can go as far as you are willing to take yourself

  • @theH0UNDSofD00M on paper Marxism is a great idea...but in reality human beings are too self centered and marxism does not work. Marx's theory of economy was tried in Russia, it took about 70 yrs but it failed. Cihna is becoming more capitalist every day. why? cuz marxism will never work

  • @mmay2010 what is it that you disagree with in marxism? You might don't agree with the solution (most likely cuz you'd loose privilege) but you can't disagree with the marxist critique of capitalism...Marx has been prove right again and again.

  • @bapyou April 27 2001 according to the conversations with history website.

  • Wheat is the date of this interview?
