Ukraine is still in an unstable way since the Credit Crunch and without the world monetary fund, would be one of the first countries in the world to declare itself bankrupt because of it (apparently only needed $16 billion to save it while UK and USA banks get 20 times that just to stay in business). I can assure you from knowing some Ukrainians that the 'most people' are the ones that live in the the east and south (which many regions mainly speak Russian as a first language) and the older generations. The West of the country on the other hand wants to be part of Europe and the EU. There are 2 sides to Ukraine at the moment, those that want the older times when there was less struggle and more stability in the economy even if it is communism so they look back to Russia for that and those who want to join with the EU and Nato to get the stability it needs. Current favourite for next President of Ukraine is pro-west. I'm more surprised that a country like Egypt would vote that way.
Generally on subject, yes capitalism is broken but because of greed in a free market, not the free market itself. A true stable ecomony needs to have a balance between free market and more socialist solutions. |
I wouldn't even say so much greed in the free market as supported stupidity.
The problem is... at least in America. The Government is pro-buisness at the expense of everyone else.
The democrats talk differently, but they're just as bad as the republicans willing to dance for a few bucks to their campaign.
I'd actually consider them worse since the republicans are at least a little more transparent.
