Have a Good NEWS

Despite its vaunted efficiency, capitalism has imposed waste inequality and environmental ruin on us. There is an alternative

How effective has to do with capitalism? The short answer is little or nothing

. The economic and social collapse in Detroit, Cleveland and many other cities of the United States has not occurred because there was an inefficient production. Efficiency problems did not cause the economic slowdown in the United States long-term care and in Western Europe.

capitalist societies decided to move production: first, far from the cities, and now outside these regions. This was done to serve the priorities of its major shareholders and boards of directors. The increase in revenues, business growth, market share and driving those decisions. As I said, the effectiveness has little or nothing to do with it.

many goods and services, once made in the United States and Western European markets for now produced elsewhere and transported back them . This waste of resources dedicated transport and move back so expensive. Pollution (air, sea and land) associated with major transport networks - and possible cleaning of pollution -. Expands only waste

factories, offices and warehouses abandoned leaving capitalist societies to increase the waste of resources and lives of workers. Surrounding communities, the tax bases eroded by capitalist deviations mean a reduction of social services, public spaces and the quality of life for all but the richest. These extensions waste resources and damage to the life of any efficiency gains offsetting movements sometimes reach small businesses only.

companies rarely, much less compensate, resources and lives lost due to their relocation decisions. Only benefits your

profits, growth and movement of market share. The move is advantageous

for them

,. Or does not care whether the movement is efficient for the economy or society in general

Simply calculate they will do better elsewhere in the United States and Western Europe. Wages are much lower than elsewhere. Pollution levels allowing companies to reduce the costs of environmental protection required in Europe and the United States. Bribes or political "contributions" lower cost and / or buy more favors, tax breaks and subsidies should go home. The efficiency of the economy or society has nothing to do with it: the advantage

for them

is all that matters

the last 250 years in Europe and the United States repeatedly devastated the natural environment and imposed terrible conditions people at work. Multinational enterprises play this story in other parts of the world. China has some of the most polluted cities in the industrial world, with another "golden age" of new millionaires. India and Russia show inequalities equally impressive. And so on.
