   Communism is a failure   
   Capitalism is a failure.   
      
   Neither theoretical system   
   can provide for the maximum   
   good for all their citizens.   
      
   Communism has failed to   
   be productive.   
      
   Capitalism has proved to   
   be an unstable system   
      
   The United States with a   
   mixed economy has been   
   one of the most successful   
   in the world as have other   
   "Mixed Economies" through   
   out the world.   
      
   A "Mixed Economy" implies   
   elements of many systems   
   such that society makes   
   rational decisions as to how   
   the economy should work
