Capitalism's Weakness
The crowning moment of the second half of the 20th century was the ending
of the Cold War which enabled the world to move forward. Finally American's
could thinks seriously about capitalism's weaknesses, but equally important
also to deal more rationally with the international arrangements so essential
to the world's stability. How far ahead could we have been on both counts
if we had not waster all those energies and resources since the late '40s
in a paranoid mode focusing on the fight against communism and the Soviet
Union? Caution: the real cost of all that should not be perceived as financial
or even as lost lives but rather as missed opportunities.
