Socialism vs. Capitalism

[Marokai Backbeat]

A mixed economy, of course.

neither one nor four have ever existed and 2/3 are the same thing.

Yes, that is true, but ideally what would you like?


Rubin (Unregulated Capitalist)
TR (Regulated Capitalist)
France (Mixed Economy)
Kenyes (Socialist)

Should we get rid of the US Postal Service and the Fire Department?

What is the difference between a 'regulated capitalist economy' and a 'mixed economy'?  Aren't the two roughly the same?

I guess the only distinction one could make between the two is that in the former, there are simply basic regulations and supervision over private businesses and little to no public/nationalized institutions, and in the latter there are large public/national institutions that operate simply for the public good (like the Post Office, Fire Department, things like the Tennessee Valley Authority, etc) and regulation goes simply beyond "basic."

I think people are seriously misunderstanding the definition of "mixed economy." The United States even meets the definition as one.
