Ahh, I see how this happened. You're too quick to try and insult.Quote from jem:
You (ricter) wrote
"Private ownership of large pools of capital is not, strictly speaking, necessary for job creation."
lets break this sentence down.
Large is all relative so it means nothing.
strictly speaking means nothing
necessary for job creation - is the point.
pools of capital... yes.
Private ownership... implies a versus no pools or govt pools.
So you are either suggesting a marxist economy or no capital can also create jobs.
So yes that is what you said.
Money is either not necessary because pools of capital are not necessary or ...
Or a Ricter style Marxist Utopia makes private pools of capital unnecessary.
What I meant was, we don't need rich people, strictly speaking. A large group of middle class savers with their money at a bank have created a large pool of capital.
