 What people think are the consequences of capitalism is really just late stage Fiat. 

Attempting to remedy it through socialism will steer us towards the perilous path of totalitarianism. Embracing sound money and a free market, however, paves the way to prosperity and freedom.

 Nope it's the same with socialism. What people think are consequences of socialism is really just late stage Fiat capitalism. The main problem is concentration of power no matter if it's called socialism, capitalism or feudalism or amarchism.

 I suggest delving into "Human Action" or "The Road to Serfdom" and reconsidering your perspective afterward.

 -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.
