Socio-economic scientists researching on Compassionate Participatory Capitalism could not figure it out, but our very own Krish has the answer <\/a>that could possibly win the Babel prize instituted by the Kichilika School of Advanced Economics, Panagal park, Chennai-17:<\/p>\n

If they really want India to adopt capitalism, they better throw away the kinda attitude the author exhibits and work towards achieving a society where equality, not e-quality, is present. These free market fundamentalists are not going to allow that and socialism\/communism is going to thrive forever. India can be a success story only if we have a “compassionate free market” approach not a fundamentalist approach like what the recent free market converts (with lot of convert zeal) have right now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

*It is still there, in spite of widespread abuse by govt. employees, because of the utter disregard by private sector in ensuring a level playing field<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So there you have it – Compassionate Free Market System. If you are still confused let me explain. Let us say that your brother is jobless. You slog your ass off working 9 to 5. If you were in the evil, fundamentalist capitalistic system, you’d show the finger when this jobless bum of a bro asks for some money. <\/p>\n

But in the Compaasionate Free Market System, you don’t act rude. You just make a sad face, frown if you can, and shake the head and walk off. If you can mumble a ‘Sorry!’ that’s just great! Even better. Swami Dumaal Phakir, noted socio-theosophico-Kichiliko-economist said ‘Just share it!’ <\/p>\n

Show some compassion, see? <\/p>\n

If any one pops the question ‘What is level playing field here, now?’ They will be summarily executed. <\/p>\n

And the line ‘a society where equality, not e-quality, is present’ is copyrighted and can’t be used\/quoted without the explicit permission of the father of e-conomics. Did you ask ‘and who is that?’ Did you now? Did you? You? Remember? Summary execution?<\/p>\n
