Ryan Shorthouse: 我认为资本主义虽然不完美，但它是我们拥有的最佳社会经济模式。它为技术创新、企业扩张和公共服务提供了投资和激励。资本主义在提高全球生活水平方面发挥了重要作用，并使过去只有精英才能享受的产品和服务变得普及。我不是自由市场的倡导者，国家始终扮演着重要角色，市场需要监管。我更倾向于支持市场，认为政府在提高资本主义的效率和公平性方面发挥着关键作用，可以通过再分配、共同投资和提供必要的公共服务来实现。为了改进而非取代资本主义体系，我们需要实现资本、住房、企业和投资的所有权民主化，这需要更多的国家支持。此外，还需要更严格的国家监管来打破垄断和反竞争行为，并在税收制度上进行彻底改革，减少对企业和努力的征税，增加对资产收入的征税。
