    There are however a lot of problems with capitalism and should be held on a very short leash. Or else monopoly happens. The most effective actions to keep capitalism at bay: strong anti-trust laws, strong worker protection (this includes a lot of stuff), wealth tax.

    Capitalism eats the leash, you can’t avoid this.

      Stick a finger up its butt and the leash will get spit back out? I think I read that somewhere, not sure if it works.

      This is simply not true. And whole EU is doing this more or less effectively. But your government has to be very very careful since this sure can happen.

      In recent years we have seen degradation of this leash. But EU commission started keeping up with global monopolies.

      I believe also in USA they are making some antitrust changes after a few decades of sleeping.

          Read all my statements again. And apply strict mathematic logic.

          Few years of degradation of antitrust laws and some effective reforms in this year alone does not in any way prove your point.
