Imagine using this way on macro business as Zara or Microsoft with thousands and thousands of employees. — javi2541997

I still waiting for an example of a successful socialist economy. — javi2541997
If you consider "meaningless" the huge development of Japan and South Korea is your problem not mine. — javi2541997

That you continue to miss the point isn’t my problem. I’ve been fairly explicit. — Xtrix
I haven’t once denied the development of either. Nor of China. — Xtrix
Yeah, Cuba is pretty bad.
Oh wait, that’s the US. — Xtrix
already pointed out Japan and South Korea as a good examples of developed nations but you consider them as "meaningless". — javi2541997

What is "meaningless" according to you then? — javi2541997
Yes both countries are so similar... come on man. — javi2541997

So let me know when you’ve done the bare minimum of homework on issues you have no clue about. — Xtrix
Japan too developed as a state-directed economy, with a huge shot in the arm from the Korean and Vietnam wars.
There’s plenty of literature on the true history of development: Ha-Joon Chang, Alice Amsden, Robert Wade, many others. The fact that from England, to the US, to Europe and Japan and the recent Asian “tigers,” large-scale state intervention and radical interference with markets has been a leading factor in economic development. In the US it’s so extreme that it’s laughable.

Cuba? Because you seem obsessed with this country. — javi2541997
One of the main important facts of this debate indeed. But according to Xtrix China becoming the most powerful country in the world thanks to the aperture to market and capitalism is just meaningless. — javi2541997
So they’re mixed economies
— Xtrix
Sure. Japan and S. Korea are capitalist countries. — frank
It just means industry is privately owned and profit driven as opposed to a centrally planned. — frank
