Name one purely capitalist Country?



In Federalist essay No. 10, Madison distinguished two sorts of governments for his readers.

One was a “pure democracy,” which he described as “a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person.” A New England town meeting might qualify for this definition, where voters assembled to choose town officers and approve local bylaws.

The other type of government was a “republic,” defined as “a government in which the scheme of representation takes place” – meaning where the people’s chosen representatives made governing decisions for them.

That seems cut and dried. Surely no one thought the entire population of 13 states could work like a town meeting.

But Madison here was saying only that the possibility of a “pure” democracy was impractical. He was by no means banishing all democratic ideas and institutions.

Other way around.

America was it's most successful post Ww2, during Reconstruction age when Socialusm was at it's peak with unions, infrastructure projects, etc having the most support and impact on the emerging middle class and wealthy capitalist alike.

What infected the system was corporatism taking over the capitalist system.

Sophomoric crap - and irrelevant to the discussion of this mythical and undefined "pure" capitalism comrade Jeri is droning about.

Americans LOVED FDR
 
The MAIN reason China has made the gains they have to be the world's second biggest power is because of the socialism element within their brand of Communism/Dictatorship.

It is because they have taken money from the top and invested massively in building a middle class.

Housing, infrastructure, health care, etc, etc building new foundations of wealth to then build the next layer upon
