Capitalism vs Socialism: Which one is working?


This is the dictionary definition of capitalism:





an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state





Characteristics central to capitalism include private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, a price system and competitive markets





--Wikipedia





What is profit?





Profit describes the financial benefit realized when the revenue generated from a business activity exceeds the expenses, costs, and taxes involved in sustaining the activity in question.





Definition of socialism





any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods





But do socialism works? 





Here are some of the video, why socialism is much more worse than capitalism?

But what about capitalism. We have one-sided economy where only very few control the market.

Wealth inequality is on the rise. People are unemployed and in poverty. Capitalists are creating more problems (or negative externalities like climate change, pollution) than solving. 





Yes, capitalism even is not working?

The reason is our govt, policymakers who don't understand the complexity of systems and can't make apposite policies so that capitalism is nurtured to deliver rather than creating negative externalities. There is no collective intelligence in the govt, they work for their own vested interest. 





A democracy with approval voting where only experts join in the governance and work collectively without any vested interest.

Bacteria and Competition: How it's similar to human? and Why we should have family planning?

Image
Growth of the bacteria refers to an increase in bacterial numbers When bacteria is grown in a liquid nutrient medium, the population is counted at many time intervals, and we get a bacterial growth curve that represents growth of cells over time. Why bacterial growth curve is so important? It gives the idea to learn about the impact of competition in the simplest way. It gives the answer what happens to a population when resources are limited. Bacterial growth best suits even to describe the human population. In science, there are 4 phases, but for simplistic understanding, without any scientific jargon it can be three stages: Thrive, Survive, and Deteriorate Image from wikipedia (A: Lag phase, B: Log phase, C: Stationary phase, D: Death phase) Stage 1: Thrive In this phase bacteria has sufficient resources, so bacteria flourish, prosper or grow vigorously. In science, it's the lag phase and log phase. In the lag phase, there is no cell division, but cells are not dormant, they und...

A new fair democracy inspired by Delegated Proof of Stake algorithm

Image
Preprint link: https://osf.io/82mpk/ dem·oc·racy [democracy democracies] 1) fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country or organization, etc, and their right to take part in making decisions 2) a system of government in which all the people of a country can vote to elect their representatives Yes, most democratic countries fulfill the second definition of democracy, but none to the first definition. Abstract: Democracy is about fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country. But it becomes unrealistic to achieve when political parties have their conflict of interest , and leaders don't have the expertise to make evidence-based policies and neither have the skill and manpower for solving problems that surround our society and ecosystem. The new fair democracy provides an elegant way of governance that separates the representative responsibility according to their specialization and can grow into any complexity. The governance is divided into various departments, and each ...
