When the shit hits the fan and people need support capitalism fails.
Which is why we have a nation state, a welfare system and taxation. Still doesn't mean we have a command and control economy with no trade.

. Still doesn't mean we have a command and control economy with no trade.
Of course 70s Britain had a great state network and key services were nationalised. All alongside private business. Im not proposing communism though there's a place for cooperative and other community based businesses in the mix.

(Even when bankers needed support the State had to bail them out. )
And austerity, cutting back the state infrastructure while money being siphoned off to the already uber rich.
So, we've witness decisions about lives based on economics,
and we'll see how countries with no or depleted state health service fare.
If they do resource support it will be from public coffers with no help from the v. rich people scurrying to a bunker in New Zealand
