Capitalism (because of competition) always is a downward pressure on:
Workers wages & benefits
Production costs & values

The producers/benefactors in a consumptive society skim value, but rarely 
introducing the supposed benefit of capitalism (ingenuity).

CEO’s ingenuity consists of the following things:

Cutting wages and benefits
Cooking the books, to acquire more investment by newcomers
Corporate socialism on the backs of the workers/taxpayers
Hyping inferior products that have been designed for ‘planned obsolescence’
Buying companies and liquidating their assets while posting profits for additional outside investment
Moving  jobs to the countries that give them a tax shelter and slave labor wage workers.

Not a real rewarding life for workers, unless they get that debt slavery education that boosts them up a few points in salary.

We didn’t lock our doors.
Women were bosses of entire factories back in the 1960′s.
We didn’t have sexism so to speak (every school we sat girl,boy,girl boy)
Bosses/Managers lived in the same buildings with similar flats.
There was no homeless (until capitalism came)
Divorce? What divorce?
The whole neighborhood got together (social bond) to clean the neighborhood we all lived in. (Everyone!)
No unemployment.
Health care for all.

We knew everyone, and stayed out until midnight sometimes without parental supervision, because there was no worry of sexual pedophiles/rapists etc.

I really believe people have been brainwashed by ‘education’ about all the so-called ‘benefits’ of capitalism.

Shows you the power of propaganda.

Monetary is our economic system but the problem is that we are using a paper as a money in our system. Where the paper itself is no value in it. Human should use a commodity which having a value in it as a medium in our economic system. 

I read most of the comments and someone down there is saying that the banks are printing the money to stabilize the economy and they think it can be solve. We cannot blame the banks because the banks also is managed by a human. And a human turns to followed their desire or lust to achieved their objective. 

Gold, silver and precious metals are not the only commodities that we can use in our economic system. Oats, barley, rice, salt and other food that having a good life time and not rot also can be use in our daily trading systems. This is more suitable for a small trade in the market. The precious metals can be used to trade on the high value stuffs. But we can not use animals as the trading currencies because animal dies.

Let’s look at the fact in our history. What was the value in 1970 for one ounce of gold? What can you get with that value in 1970? 01 ounce of gold in 1970 was at USD35. With USD35 a young married couples can easily manage their economy for a month. How about 2012? 01 once of gold on 07th January 2012 is trade at USD1612. I believe a young married couples in 2012 also still can manage their daily life with that income. The same 01 ounce of gold is having the same value from 1970 to 2012 while USD35 is 97.8% decrease its value if someone keep its dollar instead of gold from 1970 to 2012. Now let’s investigate how much the crime rate increase from 1970 to 2012. You can take your nearest big city as an example. Is it the rate increase proportionally with the decreasing value of our money?

It should be a medium in our economic system but it is 100% not the paper or electronic money. Because it can be easily create and manipulate by human where 7 billion of us are having our own desire.
