We’ve seen Socialism, and Capitalism, both in action.

Still, there is many a heated argument over which is best.

In truth, neither worked, and neither failed.

Each had benefits of some kind or another, but both seem fatally flawed.

Now, in the West at least, we seem to be headed into the twilight years of an era of failing Capitalism.

There are those who wish to try to repair the Capitalist system, to limp on for another few years, so as to allow them maybe to die in peace.

And there are those who yearn for a return to Socialism, and some even to Communism, that we saw fail in the past, perhaps to patch up, and to try again in some way, to regain some kind of future for the younger folks.

But, with the entry of ordinary people, wielding free money, to markets, there are signs of something new emerging, something never seen before.

A glimpse of a new kind of democracy, where the markets are the new place of casting votes.

The votes are cast on the currencies, commodities, and stocks, of the countries and companies we see as most useful to our every day lives.

Countries have currencies, businesses have stocks, and we all need food.
