[MD] is capitalism compatible with democracy?

[David M]

Hi Laird

Democracy says we negotiate together to decide
what we want and how we are going to achieve it.

Capitalism is one way to organise economic activity,
I think it has delivered much both good and bad,
but now the bad has to be tackled and that means it
is time to look for new ways to organise how we work
together and share out the fruits of our labours.
