1. No accountability
2. No responsibility
3. No incentive
For all you anticapitalists out there, I ask, can you name any successful communist societies globally or historically?
No doubt Quincunx is already furiously typing a response, so I'll suggest a book that I am currently reading (he seems quite fond of recommending books - has he actually read them or does he just get them form the many links to left wing pages he offers as "evidence" of his distorted views?) It is called "Investment Biker - Around the World with Jim Rogers" by Jim Rogers, regularly seen on CNBC. It depicts his journey completely around the world in 91/92, with much observation of various economic systems.
