Tell me what it is.

You know that I'm German. We are born philosophers, intellectuals and deep thinkers. So we don't simply accept notions but we think about them.

Or to say it in other words: A humanized/regulated "capitalism" isn't a capitalism anymore.

Is it so difficult to understand that Marx was wrong when he claimed that market economy itself is a bad thing? That was the main error of Marx.

You can see how market economies can change and be humanized when you have a look at the last 150 years. This evolution will go on.

But only when you buy fairtrade bananas!
I'm using the common definition which is where the means of production are under private control in a market based economy. If you're using some other definition, let me know. What kind of regulations are you thinking of that would make it no longer capitalism?
