What does your ideal economy look like?

Debate Information

If you could do anything and have exactly the perfect economy in the system you believe in what would that look like. As a corporatist I look forward to disproving most of these but I welcome nice and clean debate,

    A great economy would be a capability economic study rn due to its fairness to all and great pros to it. This way. Different classes could get fair tax rates and salaries.

    I would argue that American economy is a good example.  I would opt for less government regulations though.

    Trade and barter system, possibly a gold and silver standard, in an anarcho/voluntaryist system The American dollar is worth only what the military can back.

    As a fascist, a mixed economy with corporatism and class divisions.

    I am no longer active on DebateIsland or any debate website. Many things I have posted here and on other sites (Such as believing in the flat Earth theory or other conspiracy theories such as those that are about the Las Vegas Shooting or 9/11) do not reflect on my current views.

    A good economy has a small government with no debt.

    My ideal economy includes high growth and a small government. This would make the country better and also help eliminate the debt while increasing revenue.

    @SilverishGoldNova Well all economies claim to do that. Try to be a bit more specific.
  • Oswald_MosleyOswald_Mosley 108 Pts   -  
    @agsr Our economy is heavily flawed yet we show it as a good example of an economy. People in our economy like it our not are heavily exploited by the rich in our country. I am by no means a socialist but I think the fact that 90% of people control the wealth is a scary statement avoided in politics. I think that our wavering lower class is a clear product of so little such as the 1% owning 90%. Is that really a good economy. I say we bring >some< of that wealth back to the classes that deserve it.

    @Erfisflat Such little government intervention will result in even cruddier products that don't even have to pretend that they care about the consumer. Our government regulates that food and other products are made well. The anarchist economy is heavily flawed in that it is pure capitalism which is about as horrible as pure communism. Communism takes the economy too far in that it controls every aspect. The trade and barter system is a characteristic of any economy but the money is the trade and the price is the barter. I assume that you mean that basic goods should be traded as a currency but with a silver or gold standard. That's a neat idea but I think it has some major flaws. That would take much longer because you would have to stand at the cashier for much longer making it harder to sell goods not to mention that if there is a silver system why not just make a dollar to represent the supposed cost of this item. The anarchist idea is a Utopian one. I ask why abolish the dollar,a system that has made economies run much smoother and better and allows for a much larger business or company to make much better than it would having to trade objects instead of a cheap piece of paper. Also the U.S dollar is only worth what the economy makes of it. The economy is always the ultimate decision maker in terms of what a dollar is worth and not the military.

    An ideal economy would have low taxes and a high GDP, high revenue and no debt.

    Completely free unrestricted economy, with electronic currency guaranteeing full confidentiality of transactions with access to the information on the need-to-know basis. Lack of the concept of "intellectual property", meaning people are free to copy and modify others' ideas. Government funded by voluntary donations and operating as an independent company, playing on the free market just like everyone else. No taxes, no subsidies, no price control.

    Also - decentralization of economy. With lack of the concept of intellectual property, small companies become strong competitors to major corporations, and corporations become too heavy in terms of resources to maintain. Rather than centralized entities, there would be consortiums of small enterprises coordinating efforts towards creation of resources.

    I think this system will naturally arise in the upcoming decades, given how hard it will be for any entity to control cryptocurrencies when they become the dominant means of resource and service exchange. This could even very well lead to disbandment of nations and states, since it is the economical needs that warrant their existence, and such needs will disappear when the economy is perfectly globalized and decentralized.

    Capitalism. Not crony capitalism though, that means no corporate subsidies, no corporations at all actually; no government-granted monopolies, that means no patents or copyrights; no taxes; no tariffs; no regulations (but I’d be fine with certain environmental and child-labor laws). Ideally there’d be little need for insurance, rent, or formal education either.
  • For me, the ideal economy doesn't mean high-profit margins for big firms but in the actual ideal economy should be that offer equal profit shares for all stakeholders. In Trump era, the revenues of big firms are increasing but the living standard of common didn't improve. A few days ago, I was just comparing static van insurance and the increment of insurance rates just made me little disappointed. On the other hand, students should also not suffer in the ideal economy due to hard terms and conditions of students' loan too.
