I keep seeing articles that tell how liberalism and socialism have failed and withered away. It does seem like they took a downturn in the 1980's, when Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher ruled the roost, and liberals were being voted out of office all over the world. The Reagan-Thatcher brand of capitalism didn't work very well, either. As has been said above, what seems to work best is a blend of the best of both capitalism and socialism. Now, if we could add integrity and common sense into the blend, we might finally accomplish something.
