Capitalism

On the good side - Democratic capitalism provided the greatest benefit to the most citizens of any system ever devised.

On the bad side - Eventually, one or two companies win and the benefits of competition disappear.

Solution: Teddy Roosevelt had the only solution ever proven to work and it was a painful bandaid at best. Established industries should have no less than five independent suppliers. As hard as it is for conservatives to accept, the best corporations must be split once they've won.

Which industries might be under-competitive? Oil? Computer OS's? Health care? Example: Why was oil ten dollars a barrel in the 1990's and then jumped to sixty dollars in 2000? Was the worldwide economy so bad that demand was low in the 1990's? Is $60 really the fair market value?
