  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues

- Millions of toxic toys recalled: The nightmarish reality of global capitalism
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The world’s largest toy maker, Mattel Corporation, announced August 14 that it was recalling nearly 19 million toys worldwide, half of them in the US, because of the dangers they pose to children. Some 436,000 toy cars made in China were withdrawn because they are covered in lead paint, while more than 18,000,000 other toys, also made in China, are being recalled because they contain small, powerful magnets that could do great damage if swallowed.

- War on Internet Democracy
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from The American Prospect
  If capitalists cannot make money of something, then something must be evil. Information should be free in a democracy. But under this kind of capitalism it isn’t.

Bill Gates Issues Call For Kinder Capitalism

I honestly never would have predicted such thinking from BG several years ago.

What I want to see now is the staunch capitalist’s response to such thinking. Maybe the Economist will have something (dismissive and venomous, as usual) to say about it…
