>it was demonstrated
You keep saying that, but you haven't demonstrated anything at all. Half of what your posts are straight up nonsense. I'm not gonna go through and nitpick each and every piece of your word soup though because I'm not a professor grading a paper, I was hoping to have an intelligent discussion.

The one thing I'll correct you on is your definition of capitalism. It's not "buying and selling of perceived value" or whatever you're trying to say. It's an economic system i.e. a philosophy for how people should exchange goods and services. Saying that it's "the stock principle" or anything else is completely nonsensical. That's like saying communism is public services or something. That just doesn't make sense. At best, it describes something that might be part of the economic system, it's not a definition.
Capitalism is really an economic system defined by private ownership of property, private ownership of the means of production, and markets free from government interference. That's why in my original post I said that there are practically no truly capitalist countries nowadays, since they've all introduced controls in their markets, either for better or for worse.

Secondly, everything you said was already addressed in the post you replied to. Again, state-owned banks will run into the same incentive problem as private banks because the issue at its core comes from facilitating investment and nothing to do with profit motives. All economies need investment to grow, regardless of who owns the means of production.

I will no longer be replying to this post because I don't feel like you've adequately challenged my opinions.

Well, I've been trying to read the Bible, but it is so dull. I don't want to read about how to build a tabernacle, and I don't want to read about the 50-step process involved in sin offerings. There is no way people actually read this. Should I just skip to the good parts? Psalms is alright. Definitely better than Judges and supremely better than tabernacle encyclopedia. I don't know. The story-telling is lacking. The sieging of cities goes like "And they raided Islam with the help of the LORD and totally destroyed them. The end." What is that? Apparently, that's how the stories go. Lame.
