RSA Animate - Crises of Capitalism

In this RSA Animate, renowned academic David Harvey asks if it is time to look beyond capitalism towards a new social order that would allow us to live within a system that really could be responsible, just, and humane?

This is based on a lecture at the RSA (www.theRSA.org).

I say that there needs to be a balance of socialism and capitalism. Where you can strike it rich but if not you are still given a well paid job.

@PrettyMaggiee

I think you dropped your tin-foil hat.

[allenpryortube]

make this a video response to the recent state of the union address??? it happened again.

[lolhatethat]

Talks a load of shite. The drawing is terrific, though.

He has a few good questions to raise, but he himself admits that he has not answers. Well true free market capitalism does. Some of the questions he gets at are deeper than any economic system can solve. The problem with anti-capitalism (or any political movement) is that it is rather arrogant of us humans to think we can be so good and powerful as to create a perfect peaceful society all on our own.

This whole video is absolute idiocy. Look up "Crisis of Capitalism, The Critique". Watch it.

781 sensible people so far :) I just love the good old propaganda methods used by mr Harvey in his speech/presentation. "Any sensible person would join an anti-capitalist organisation" in other words if you're a capitalist you are an IDIOT, and nobody likes to be considered an idiot.

then the terror technique "You have to or bad things will continue to happen". Very intelligent guy. Shame he's an arsehol.

@15kinglc you obviously dont have better things to do seen as you've come on here just to say it's boring, you're the one in need of a life mate haha

@rolangel777 Look at it another way. Where is the rich person going to take his extra money from, if they dont take it away from the poorer person? that's why you cant have your cake and eat it too...

@g4macdad that's a cheap shot, you're not saying anything but "your oppinion is uncommon". Personally I dont think Maggie is going far enough, goverment and corporations both work under the market and corporations are bigger so of course they'll end up with the most power, goverments AND corporations are but two forms of our failed "economic" system that wastes and fails to economize at every turn.
