Does Christian free-market capitalism have any flaws?

[questionnaire]

Francis Fukuyama called the free-market capitalist way of life 'The End of History' in his book of that name, and became quite well-known for it. He was saying that it's the best way of life possible and the whole world should adopt it.



Since 9/11 he has changed his mind and claimed that free-market capitalist societies have major problems. I think that Fukuyama is a poor and rather blinkered thinker, but even he is admitting that flaws do exist.



We all know that the left-liberal, socialist and communist ways of doing things have big problems. Communism might even be fatally flawed, but many people argue that true communism has never existed, only Stalinism, and so we don't know how well it would work because it has never been tried properly and thus we have no evidence. However, the general broad-left way of doing things has many flaws: annoying bureaucracy, stifling of entrepreneurship (does everyone remember when Dubya said that "the problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur? ), high taxes, welfare dependency, lack of consumer choice, etc etc.



I'm sure nobody disagrees with that. So, for the sake of a bit of balance, what are the flaws in the Christian free-market capitalist way of life? I'm sure we would all be very interested in the views of Ron, DT, Rev9volts and even Seismo if he is still around and able to make a contribution that doesn't involve battery-powered sex aids.

C'mon, guys!!!



Not one teency-weency little flaw??



You're making this look like you think your way of life is perfect, just like the Islamic fundamentalists think about their way of life.



The longer you leave this, the more suspect you will look in the eyes of the other board members.
