Alternatives to immoral capitalism

I have recently viewed the film Poor No More and wish to recommend it to the public.

I have recently viewed the film Poor No More and wish to recommend it to the public.

In my opinion current western civilization is like the auto-crazy teenagers of the 60’s i.e. “doing 90 miles an hour down a dead end street.” If we hope to avoid the end result we must realize:

1. Present capitalism is immoral and must either be made moral or eliminated.

2. We must become active citizens in the pursuit of a better civilization, which must be more equal, free, understanding and tolerant of others.

3. We must reduce our use of mother planet Earth to where it is sustainable.

There are alternates to free-trade, let-the-market-decide, corporate-directed governments: a subject which requires a book not a letter to relate. The present system of international trade presided over by the WTO and IMF is known by everyone, except the politically comatose, to be total failure and harmful to underdeveloped nations.

Alternately there are now 10 left-wing governments in South America planning their economies and joined in common economic union, which for the first time in history are reporting successful results and victories compared to the previous economic imperialism.
