Nov 21 2011: Greetings,
Personally I believe that Capitalism as it stands has outgrown it's usefulness in this world. This includes the use of Banks world wide. We live in a finite world with limited resources. As long as we pretend that "someday I'll have everything I need to be happy (rich)", we continue to prolong the problem (25,000 die daily from starvation) and bring our species closer to a decimation point. This point being where there will be a cataclysmic reduction in population due to Disease, War, and Natural/ unnatural catastrophe. All of which are compounded by the inequality in the financial world which does not allow a large portion of the population to have food, health care, or a place to live in safety without fear of violence.
The answer for sustainability and happiness for the greatest amount of people lies in the removal of the monetary based reward system. A revamping of Education and legislative moves towards creating a resource based economy. Nation by Nation until it is adopted around the world.
Then we may find we no longer need an elected government but rather can do it our selves. Peace~
