Something about capitalism and some of the consequences.


Capitalism is a system basically based on private ownership of the means of production, in which personal profit can be acquired through investment of capital and employment of labor. Capitalism is grounded in the concept of free enterprise, which argues that government intervention in the economy should be restricted and that a free market, based on supply and demand, will ultimately maximize consumer welfare.
The capitalist world covered from 1945, vast areas of the planet, its most important areas of influence were North America, Western Union and Japan. Growth accelerated, only interrupted by 1973 energy crisis occurred in all of them. Since the beginning of the 1980s, neoliberalism broke and the state reduced to minimize their participation in economic issues. Politically consolidated, with the exception of the dictatorships in southern Europe, parliamentary democracy. Progressive and conservative governments hardly smooth alternated extremists that distort the liberal model. Western Europe advanced, not without difficulty, towards economic integration and, at the end of the 20th, were the first steps towards political Union.

In my opinion capitalism is a system that makes people get involved but almost by obligation even if they don't want to belong they must obey.
I think that is a little bit selfish to think that a system like that cannot be harmful for people, what about homeless? or indians in Africa or Asia?.
Everybody needs to get involved in something where they really fit in, not an exclusive system where you don’t have any idea of what’s going on with you or your money.
Although is the only system created after “feudalism” so we are exposed and forced to belong, cannot come out of it because we don't even know how do we get into the system, it is completely necessary to read about nowadays news and know what’s going on in all over the world, not just us or our country, we need to know what’s happening with people until the last corner in the world.
