I wasn't sure whether to put this under humor or economics. Its hysterical that these people think that capitalism is the problem.

“If we don’t invent a new capitalism, absurd economic solutions will win over and sweep us straight into recession’’

What they should be realizing is that it isn't capitalism they are criticizing, but the social welfare state which is drowning them. This is evident because the goals are:

"His grand ambitions also involve combating income-inequality, empowering governments to intervene in the economy, and forcing companies to be socially responsible and share more of their profits with workers."

So your solution to the crapitalism you practice is to add more government crap to the equation? That sounds like a winning strategy - in your own mind. How about you try it while I pull up the popcorn and watch your nation melt down into another Venezuela!

    Blarman, you have filed this under humor. It would be hard to make this stuff up.

    "If they were to really give capitalism a shot, I think they'd find that they liked it."

    Macron will make sure it's never going to happen.

    Thinking of it: the French have been electing these nitwits like Holland and Macron. They have to eat the cake they wanted.

    That's because France hasn't ever really been a capitalist nation. They were a monarchy until the revolution, a socialist state until WW II, an occupied nation until the end of WW II, then right back to socialism. If they were to really give capitalism a shot, I think they'd find that they liked it.

    What is "new capitalism"?

    "France is sounding an alarm for the world’s advanced economies": capitalism is tearing them apart.

    President Emmanuel Macron and his Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire are using France’s presidency of the Group of Seven to argue that the system fuels inequality, destroys the planet and is ineffective at delivering goals in the public interest. The country has already experienced some of the fallout firsthand in the Yellow Vest movement that erupted late last year."

    Macron is the worst puppet to deliver on his masters' edict. Which is globalism. He loved Obama now in a bind to find a way out of destruction.

    He thinks he can sell that it is capitalism which is at fault not the ingrained socialist rules France is well known for.
