World Economics

A place to discuss the current economics crisis

I find it hilarious Bring on total economic collapse!

It's unfair to people who have worked somewhere their entire lives, then lose their jobs because of this though.... And there are now people out of work who have no money, are having to sell their houses etc..

hmm. taken to extremes the shops would have no money to stock anything and not be able to sustain jobs so no one would have money to spend anyway. and I'm about to enter the working world and this situation only makes it harder. So maybe think about things a little starom before starting the communist flag waving.

Ah, but no! If the money all goes, Communist parties stand a chance as they finally prove to people how flawed the concept of money is. Let's face it - if that money all goes, people are never, ever going to be able to re-coop it. Ever. So, why not start from scratch, with a different approach?

well they already proved to people how flawed the concept of communism (in practice as a government anyway) is so I doubt it.

Yeah, but the flaws of Capitalism are finally showing their strains too... Let's face it - for every flaw in communism, there's an equal, if not larger number in Capitalism!

there's an equal or larger flaw then being in totalitarian state with secret police everywhere? Where you can't sneeze at an official without being arrested?

Ah - I'm not in favour of Stalin style communism you know! If anything, I have a tendancy to, from time to time, lean more towards Anarchist Communism more than anything... Communism doesn't have to be tyrannical...

Could have fooled me. anyway can we take this back towards economics?

And yes ^^ Looks like people still aren't learning... They've sunk so low in their lust for money, they've invested in Poundland

that is bad. you think anything should have been done to stop the banks being so reckless? with hindsight it seems to be yes but before I'm sure people could have argued that they were doing something that was simply part of running a business and not something that goverments had to keep looking over their shoulder at.

Ahh, good ol' Poundland

They should just Nationalise the bands and be done with it It would save us all a lot of trouble to be honest...

the bands?

banks XD

I thought that was a typo when I read it

same. I knew what it was but thought it was amusing enough to point out.

yeah ^^

XD Although, I notice that no-one is arguing the point I take that to be a good sign!

well I'm not entirely sure but I can't really disagree

If it helps people, then it's got to be a good thing

well obviously

That's the spirit!
