"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to Communism."

Karl Marx - Das Kapital 1867

My note: Extreme capitalism is really at the crossroad, but perhaps not to the extreme of leading to communism. A frugal capitalism with strong social responsibilities largely based on self regulatory initivates by various players in the market would be ideal.

小喜小悲

人生是一个不断渐进变化的过程，每件事放在人生的长流当中就没有绝对的喜或悲。一件喜事，久了就是某些悲痛的因；一场悲剧，久了就是某场盛宴的因。如此轮回不断，世俗人生，不外如是。

故遇大难而能定如泰山，遇大喜却仅拈花一笑，乃大智慧。
