[U.S.A.] We're not #1 - are the good days gone forever?

China has lots of private jobs. They are not #1 (whatever that means).

You also have your causation wrong. Your assumption is we have more jobs because we have more people than Sweden and Denmark. It should be we have more people because we have more jobs. People go where the private sector jobs are (amongst other things).

China Urban Unemployment Rate at 4.1% at End June

Yeah, that's on...about 360 million people if the urbanization rate is 30% as it has been estimated to.

Do the math.

I'm guessing China has more people because they have ALL the GOOD jobs there.

 

And Marx is still relevant.

However, the alternative is worse. The failure of communist regime is all too familiar. Britian had a socalist reform after the war that turned out to be disater. Policy makers need to read Marx to know what they are dealing with, but should not reach an ultimate conclusion to dismiss captialism. As Keynes put it a century ago, there gotta be a blanace between personal economic liberty and the collective good, and the difficulty is to find that right balance.

 

Uh---

 

Mao is still worshiped in many parts of China.

 

...did you just compare Clement Attlee to Mao?



Let's just say that the British are a bit more informed on who did or in this case didn't murder scores of their own citizens.

 

Well he did lower the population

 

With all due respect, you posted a bunch of crap, got busted for it, and are busy trying to crawl your way out of a morass of your own making.
