Capitalism vs. Socialism: GDP, Wellbeing and Economic Freedom

Name a single country

where socialism works.

Name a single country

where capitalism works

United States,

Hong Kong, Canada, United Kingdom.

Imagine unironically using GDP as a metric

for economic prosperity and quality of

life. These people can't

even fathom the concept

of success being measured by

anything other than the fucking stock market.

If your way of measuring the success

of a civilization is based on its pure

economic output instead of the wellbeing

of its citizens, that's not economics, my

friend, that's called

violence. Also, this entire

chart is fucking stupid.

How the fuck are you quantifying

economic freedom?

Oh, wait, I forgot.

Your version of economic freedom is when you're

forced to work for a boss that

doesn't give a fuck about you, and

if you don't, you become homeless

and you starve

to death. Gotcha
