Capitalism is a Game that Macroeconomists Tweak

What is capitalism all about? We have heard so many representations about what capitalism is or ought to be but most of these notions revolve around the idea that capitalism is a natural phenomenon like the weather or some part of a "natural order".

Yet as we look even superficially at how capitalism has functioned since the inception of the Federal Reserve at least we see it is some sort of great game, managed at tweaked by tens of thousands of dutiful economic technicians.

This is particularly evident with the current almost depression. Obama's rescue plan for "the economy" presumes that the vast machinery of currently existing capitalism can be tweaked, bolstered, invigorated and manipulated much like an engine or other complex technology.

So it is a game we agree to play together in our hundreds of millions and billions. The owners and operators of capital and their subservient regimes have stepped in to, perhaps restart the heart of the dying system and perhaps they have been somewhat successful.

So if you want to tell me about "natural capitalism" or the "way capitalism is" you might consider that the economists and their masters are manipulating and orchestrating a vast system every hour of every day and that now, with the whole system in crisis this is more evident than ever.
