Capitalism for Dummies
Traditional Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one
and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
American Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one, and
force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are
surprised when the cow drops dead.
French Capitalism: You have two cows. You go on strike because
you want three cows.
Japanese Capitalism: You have two cows. You redesign them
so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce
twenty times the milk. You then create cow cartoon images
called Cowkimon and market them World-Wide.
German Capitalism: You have two cows. You reengineer them
so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
Italian Capitalism: You have two cows, but you don't
know where they are. You break for lunch.
British Capitalism: You have two cows. Both are mad.
