[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4642282, member: 63706"] Slavery couldn't compete with industrialization. If that were true, there would be evidence. But corporations are extremely efficient and hard for small businesses to compete with. This was the complaint Lenin had against corporatism. Mass production drove down prices, edging artisan based businesses out of business. I would like to see a better balance between quality and efficiency. Seems like quality is always slipping. Yup. That is a failing of human nature. It would be the same regardless of which system was in place. People are imperfect. You get people to behave properly through incentivization. You don't create a system that simply hopes people will behave properly out of duty or sense of morality. There were plenty of different countries and people groups that used different systems throughout history. The most successful ones, more or less, employed a top down model. [/QUOTE]
