thailand is pure capitalism

[williamta20012]

thailand is pure capitalism except that they dont trade in a sound free market currency.

however there is a very an amazing gold market here for the ppl who get it

thailand has lots of competition among shops which is its best characteristic

but there is a disturbing visually apparent communist element that pops up every where

why in the world do these business free market embracing capitalists love facist mao and Lennon

by the way the solution to pollution is property rights, u will always notice that the most pollution and commodity mismanagement is always conducted on corruptible socially shared land of the mass mind state

just try and piss in your neighbor's fish pond

There's no blueprint for pure capitalism but I would have thought Thailand's restrictions on property rights, labour markets and cross border trade. Not to mention the endless licencing and bureaucracy.

Thailand appears quite free and easy, and it is if you want to sell gai yang or ride around with no helmet on, but when you actually try and do business here you'll find it's a lot more restrictive than you first think, and in many ways far more so than many western countries.

Although "Williamta20012" usually write very strange posts, he might be right on the "Lennon" bit didnt the FBI have file on him suspected of being a closet communist ?...

Thailand is NOT pure capitalism. Here are a few definitions of pure capitalism, Thailand isn't even close to any of them. Dont confuse consumerism, or corporatism with capitalism. It is a common mistake made by many to put down the idea of a free society.

both sides of the Thai elite use the government to control commerce in their favor......hence the numerous political uprisings. that is not capitalism, its cronyism. there are plenty of socialist nations in Europe that are far more capitalistic than Thailand.

Why do we always have to drag the Beatles into discussions on Capitalism?

Yes and Yoko, not Mao. Although some people apparently think Yoko bears a resemblance to another psychopath ... or sociopath.

just released, heirtiage foundation ranking of economic freedom. Thailand is in the middle of the pack under "moderately free."

again, Thailand is a lovely country with many individual freedoms, but it is very far from pure capitalism.

I see in this ranking that China, an economic powerhouse of the last decade with high economic growth and 2nd largest economy in the world, is ranked a lot lower than Thailand which is understandable with the govt control in China.

Thailand is pure capitalism...except I'm not allowed to buy a house?

You can buy a house...no problem; but buying the dirt it sets and having it in your name is the no-go except for some unique situations.
