The economic marriage between China and its former capitalist enemies is about to be consummated with the rise of Beijing within the World Trade Organization. Free trade is about to include 1 billion new hungry consumers and 1 billion new low-wage workers. The folks on Wall Street couldn't be happier. You see, China's surrender of communism is the guarantee it will revive. Think about it.
Capitalism is no dream system.
Sure, greed is a powerful motivator. But it's a poor planner. Leave business free to do as it sees fit and next-quarter profits instantly become the altar upon which everything is sacrificed. That includes the environment and human life. Just take a look around.
