I do not believe that the market set up was created for the better of the “people” or consumers. It can inevitably keep a person from being able to purchase the products that he or she needs based on past issues and circumstances. I believe that the corporations stand to gain more from the market set up than the individual. Capitalism is was created so that private owners control the industry for profit rather than the state. Although many may believe that a capitalist society only benefits the rich; if it was controlled by the state would it really be any more beneficial to the average worker? I believe not. Unfortunately in today’s society I believe that the individual greed will drive us all in the ground just as the state would. Human nature is controlled by greed and it will always lead the thoughts and actions of most. The regulations of markets are meant to help the seller and buyer and that they do. By regulating and providing information to the seller about the buyer it can enable them to make a decision as to whether or not they are credit worthy and will not be left out in the cold without payment. It helps the buyer by enforcing rules and regulations that do not allow the seller to manipulate the terms of a sale on a case by case basis. They are not able to change the rules as they wish, what applies to one buyer applies to all. Capitalism ultimately dominates all human society and has done so for the last five hundred plus years. I believe that it will continue this way for at least five hundred more. I do not see the state or government gaining ultimate control of the markets. The people here in the United States value their independence and their right to make their own decisions. They will always want the right to control and make their own rules and regulations when it comes to buying, selling and trading on the open market. Are we truly a one hundred percent capitalist society? I do not believe so. The government leads us to believe that we have control but ultimately if they wanted certain rules and regulations in place they could enforce them. We constantly hear the government officials blaming capitalism for all that goes wrong in our economy. Technically we do not live in a capitalist society at least not a “true” capitalistic world. The government wants us all to believe that it is all too complicated for the average person like you and I to understand much less control and regulate. That is their argument as to why we should implement more government and less capitalistic methods and resolutions to our economies crisis. Regardless of the markets being controlled by individuals or by the states, they are ultimately controlled by humans. Human nature is to do what is best for the “pocket”. Government officials wants us to implement more government to resolve our economic crisis. If you really look at it, in theory it is all the same. It is all controlled by the government in some form or fashion. They have the ultimate say. They allow us to believe that “we the people” have control when in reality they are controlling us all like puppets behind the scenes. They can implement rules and regulations that will impose their will on us without the majority even realizing it.
