A Capital Idea (Help)

Postby Regionerria » Sun Feb 24, 2013 4:27 am

What do each of these options do?

The Issue

A crowd of penniless ex-businessmen have amassed in Brontopolis, demanding that the government return all the nationalised industry to private control.

The Debate

"GREED IS GOOD!" bellows Marleen Veritas, a famous advocate of capitalism. "The economy is stagnating terribly under government control. Complete privatisation is the only option here. It's time to give power back to the people! Well, rich people, anyway..."


"This is outrageous!" cries armchair revolutionary Ivan Wu. "The government must maintain the principles of equality and socialism that we fought so hard for, and not sell the country to corrupt and greedy corporations. We must eject these shameful capitalists from our great nation at once!"


"Hey, aren't we all being a little extreme about this?" says noted economist, Ryan Singh. "Surely we could just keep the key industries, such as the electricity and water supplies, under government control and lessen the regulations on the others so they could function more independently? That way, the people can't complain that they are at the mercy of big business, and industries such as retail can function more effectively."

Option 1: Raises economy and economic freedoms at the expense of Income equality.
Option 2: Raises income equality at the expense of economy and economic freedoms(unless your economy is already nationalized ie: most of your industries are negatives).
Option 3: I don't know, probably in between.
