My DH, and I agree, says well-regulated capitalism seems to have the best results. It also encourages "good actors," who cultivate their employees, treat them fairly, and make decisions about longevity and public reputation.

Treating customers fairly and this kind of managed competition (trust-busting for the win!) creates a market which gives the proper feedback. But this slant to the stock market we deal with now only benefits a bunch of liars, cheaters, and thieves.
