Am I A Socialist?
This is all very confusing. Alex Tabarrok tries to clarify:
It is true that capitalism was named by its enemies. Thus, it’s interesting to note that a socialist is someone who believes in socialism, a communist someone who believes in communism but a capitalist is someone with capital.
It’s also true that capitalism is a truly social system, a system that unites the world in cooperation, peace and trade. Thus, if all were tabula rasa socialism might be a good name for capitalism. But that boat has sailed.
Eek gad. I’ll have to give it a ponder.
