23 u/WillowPtar_Migan 7h ago Capitalism is by far the worst economic system, except for all the alternatives. 4 u/SquareJerk1066 5h ago Wouldn't a full communist system also be an "engine that must make its own fuel"? All economic systems must be self-sustaining or we'd all die. 1 u/ManifestoEnjoyer 1h ago Not in the same way, no. China has consistently devalued the Yuan in order to maintain its position as an export economy. 2 u/_AustinGDesigns_ 43m ago Yea because without export they fail. 1 u/ManifestoEnjoyer 32m ago That's a bit of a crazy take.
