Re: Can capitalism be reformed?

To Alan Spector:
Trying to prove that Keynesianism cannot offer a valid alternative to
the present
neoliberal model of capitalism,  you tell us about every human disaster
and misery,
that has happened all over the world during the last century.
You seem to assume, that because some of them occurred at the same time,
when
Keynesian policies were practiced in many industrialized countries, it
must be
Keynesianism that caused them, thus contradicting the basic rules of
logical
reasoning.
In order to prove your point, you would have to show us, what
stimulating the
economy during recessions has to do with the conflict between Hindus and
Moslems
in India or with military coups in South America.

Whether or not capitalism itself caused such disasters or simply was
unable to prevent them, would have to be decided in a different
discussion; unfortunately I lack the qualification needed for such a
difficult subject.
