Communisim is beautiful in theory but really does not work practically as has been proven.

Capitalism is also good b/c is always for enterprise and inventiveness which progresses society (maybe too fast sometimes)

Socialism allows for the welfare state with a little capitalism thrown in...that would be my pick. I think the government needs to look out for its citizens. We should ALL have access to free education, free medical and support mechanisms in times of tough times and unemployment.

Communism isn't even good in theory, in my opinion. One of the first things the Economics class I took taught was Equity versus Efficiency, and Communism is all about Equity- balance and equality among its society's members- so nothing gets accomplished efficiently because everything in Economics is a tradeoff of some kind. As for a system to live in, I'd like to live in a socialist country.

I HATE ECONOMICS!!! I have a final tomarrow in AP macroeconomics, and I'm going to FAIL, I just know it!!!

I think we should all go back to a bartering systime, things would be so much simpler to understand...
