Capitalism vs Socialism: Which one is working?

By

This is the dictionary definition of capitalism:

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state

Characteristics central to capitalism include private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, a price system and competitive markets

--Wikipedia

What is profit?

Profit describes the financial benefit realized when the revenue generated from a business activity exceeds the expenses, costs, and taxes involved in sustaining the activity in question.

Definition of socialism

any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

But do socialism works? 

Here are some of the video, why socialism is much more worse than capitalism?



But what about capitalism. We have one-sided economy where only very few control the market.

Wealth inequality is on the rise. People are unemployed and in poverty. Capitalists are creating more problems (or negative externalities like climate change, pollution) than solving. 

Does capitalism promote innovation?



 

Yes, capitalism even is not working?

The reason is our govt, policymakers who don't understand the complexity of systems and can't make apposite policies so that capitalism is dismantled and doesn't create negative externalities. There is no collective intelligence in the govt, they work for their own vested interest. Perfect competition that is pareto optimal but is never a capitalistic model. 


How should an economy function?

Ideally, economies should achieve solutions to programming problems that determine Pareto optimal allocations: an allocation of resources such that one cannot make any one agent or type of agents better off without harming others.

A democracy with approval voting where only experts join in the governance and work collectively without any vested interest.

The overview of fair democracy: https://iambrainstorming.wordpress.com/from-hypocrisy-to-democracy-this-way-delegated-proof-of-stake-2/   Evolutionary democracy using hierarchical specialization with adapted delegated proof of stake algorithm, where different specialized departments are in a symbiotic or mutually beneficial relationship.  The Tree of Democracy Each funnel is a department with its subdepartments A Department For example, the education department can have its sub-departments such as kid education, adult education, research, entrepreneurship. Each department consists of large outer representatives and a few inner representatives. These large outer representatives are the grand total of all its sub-department outer representatives and the few inner representatives are the grand totals of all its sub-department inner representatives. Inner representatives of center and state are policy approver,   and inner representatives of all the regions (center, state, ...

Preprint link: https://osf.io/82mpk/ dem·oc·racy [democracy democracies] 1) fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country or organization, etc, and their right to take part in making decisions 2) a system of government in which all the people of a country can vote to elect their representatives Yes, most democratic countries fulfill the second definition of democracy, but none to the first definition. Abstract: Democracy is about fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country. But it becomes unrealistic to achieve when political parties have their conflict of interest , and leaders don't have the expertise to make evidence-based policies and neither have the skill and manpower for solving problems that surround our society and ecosystem. The new fair democracy provides an elegant way of governance that separates the representative responsibility according to their specialization and can grow into any complexity. The governance is divided into various departments, and each ...

Importance of educational videos and solving its limitation by teachers assistance

Many technologies have promised to revolutionize education, but so far none has. With that in mind, what could revolutionize education? Why educational videos don't work? 1) Procrastination : Educational videos give freedom of anytime learning, but this can lead to procrastination. According to Parkinson's Law: "Work expands to fill the time available for its completion". But in case of video lectures or MOOCs there is no limit of time, so usually, we procrastinate. Limiting time to complete the MOOCs is also a bad idea, as it takes away its advantage of any time and anywhere learning. 2) Lack of a social interaction : We share emotions, feelings, discuss with the teacher, friends that come to our mind just like a true social animal and classroom brings a social two-way interaction, but it doesn't happen in case of MOOCs. 3) Answerability : No one is there to keep you accountable for finishing the course, no outward push, everything lies with intrinsic motivation...
