The Foundation for Economic Education is an American conservative, libertarian economic think tank.
i never thought i would see such nakedly late-stage capitalist drivel passed off as news on the lemmyverse; but i guess if it were going to happen anywhere here, it could come from the reddit induced echo chamber instances.
FEE didn’t conduct the study. In regard to economics, libertarians have more credibility than socialist. Socialist don’t care about economics. Socialism isn’t economics. Economics is almost synonymous with capitalism and free markets. Instead of raging, maybe you should explain what socialism is, and, how it works, and why it is superior.
There is no such thing as economic democracy because democracy isn’t economics. It is politics. Socialism originally was a theory that capitalism was blocked by the use of money. To replace money, you need socialism to be centrally plan how and what people will work. Otherwise, who will take up jobs that are least pleasing, such as taking out the trash. What people claim to be socialism today is an idea of accessing resources at the expense of others. These are government programs with socialist traits, for example, how the Baby Boomers enjoyed the benefits of entitlement programs while generations afterward are going to foot the bill. That is a Ponzi scheme, which how socialism works, in reality, to be pleasing for people. It is a system that requires suckers who do most of the work.
Democracy is the idea that positive control rights over an organization should be assigned to the party governed in or by that organization. This concept is applicable in an economic context. For example, the workers in a firm are governed by management, so democracy implies that the managers be ultimately accountable to the entire body of workers in that firm making the firm a worker co-op.
Capitalism has workers do 100% of the work, but employers receive 100% of the whole product
The problem with capitalism is the non-cooperative firms that exist. A democratic economy is an economy where all firms are mandated to be worker cooperatives

He didn’t mention socialism.
There is only capitalism and socialism. Socialism, communism, and Marxism are anti-capitalist. Communism is a form of socialism.
There are other alternatives like economic democracy. Capitalism vs socialism is a false dichotomy

You mean a cooperative? Those already exist. No need for “democratic economy”.
The problem with capitalism is the non-cooperative firms that exist. A democratic economy is an economy where all firms are mandated to be worker cooperatives
@economy
You wanna vote on who owns what?
Democratic economy. :p
