Paul1405,
What you refer to as Capitalism is actually the Economy they're now trying to save. Capitalism is simply taking a massive hit, hopefully knocking greed on the head ! Haven't heard any senior Public Servants calling for a tightening of their belts though as yet so, greed is still at the forefront !
Imagine just for a moment what the situation would be right now if we had socialism ?

Capitalism with its infinite growth fallacy contains within it the seeds of its own destruction.
Reap what you sow.

Both China & Russia have only saved themselves by switching to a capitalist economy, while maintaining a pretense of socialism which is really dictatorship.

Any one silly enough to help promote socialism is consigning their kids to serfdom in a dictatorship.

mikk,

I see you have been brushing up on your Das Kapital.

No capitalism will persist, as will the determination of each county to find an appropriate balance between the market economy and government intervention.

nothing really changes for liberal democracies beyond the juggling act of these equally important dimensions to our society.

Long live liberal democracy.

Churchill once "said Democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others" I think that could be said equally about Capitalism. Nothing is ever perfect and I know that of all the socialist countries of the world, there is not one where I would prefer to live.
