Hey, Philip - Have you looked at the history of Third World countries becoming powerhouses only AFTER socializing? Because both China and India were socialist economies before they were capitalist - they both nationalized most of their industries and kept foreign investment at bay while building their own products and brands. It's an interesting flip to the Marxist model, which sees Communism as the be-all, end-all, instead of capitalism. Just curious what you think about it. As someone who borders on socialist, it's something I think about a great deal.
