economic philosophy
Welcome, on this page you will find some introductory material that will help you better understand alternatives to capitalism for it has proven to be an economic system that only works for the few, whilst the rest of the people suffer. Unfortunately, due to a massive propaganda campaign that continues to this day, millions of people have an incomplete picture of these different economic and political systems, with many being flat out wrong in their assumptions and beliefs. That's why I felt it was a good idea to make this page for those of all political affiliations to reference in order to educate themselves about these different political and economic systems.
Please keep in mind that this page is just meant to give a basic overview. If you want more in-depth discussions refer to the streaming news and media page and/or the podcast recommendations page. If you're more of a reader, then refer to the reading material page for various outlet suggestions and book downloads.
