America: The Nation or  The State The Debate is on! Statists  vs. Libertarians

Absolutely everything requires balance, but what that balance is, is certainly a matter of perspective. America has the entire framework necessary to become anything it wants to be, but what this essay is about is anything but, anything. This essay is focusing on how Statism and/or Capitalism can work together (or not), the pros and cons of such economic ideologies and their corresponding policies, plus the social, political, and cultural impact that result from such actions.



Statism: This economic idea has been practiced since time immemorial, the idea for this probably was first used in a tribal society, where a Cheiftain, and his/her elders had nominal spiritual, social, political, economic, & genetic power over there clan, tribe, hoard etc., and therefore had the automatic entitlement to decide the economics of their people. In Modern times however, Statism is not usually used in such an esoteric manor, it is used almost always to create a syndicalized nation state. This policy will result in a traditional, pious, and primarily, agro-industrial society.









Capitalism: This most certainly originated in the schools of classical Europe, philosophy likely helped advance this with the idea of a free society and that an idividual can make the best decision for his or her self. Another reason for this is, is that the free movement of money can, in some cases, be more efficient than having a few people handle it for the nation. This policy has been used primarily to advance the idea of the libertarian utopia. These ideas will eventually result in a secular, centrist, market driven society, with healthy amounts of greed, along with the freedom to succeed and fail. 





Could one of these ideas be better than the other, I think not ! Although this debate has raged for a long time, I know that neither can work its best without the other, like I said in the beginning, “absolutely everything requires balance”, and I have a great idea about this, if America does not have anyone who is truly intelligent enough to know how to run a command economy effectively, than the only thing that America can do is either to rely on a free market (right now we have a liberalist market), or go toward the way of the Fascist economy (very similar to market socialism[only with more concern for the environment]).
