TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell one, and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.


ENRON CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed
company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.


AMERICAN CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the
milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

FRENCH CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

BRITISH CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. Both are mad.



SPANISH>ITALIAN CAPITALISM:
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.


RUSSIAN CAPITALISM:

You have 5,000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

Chinese Capitalism, Version 2.
You have 200 cows. You hire 2 people to milk them and tell them that they need to work 10 hours per day, 5 days per week. You tell the workers that they temporarily need to work 18 hours per day, 7 days per week. You wonder why your workers both died of exhaustion after a few months.


Greek Capitalism
You have 2 cows. You hire 4 people to milk them. You have to borrow money from Germany to help pay the salaries and benefits. To save money, you reduce the retirement age for people who milk cows for a living.
 
Let’s read a little humor on the subject of phantom currencies, Martians, and platinum coins from Hugh Smith

The $1 trillion coin saga takes an unexpected twist....

The $1 trillion platinum coin saga took a surprising turn as the Central Bank of Mars has expressed interest in buying 100 of the proposed coins. Interpreters are puzzling over the meaning and subtexts of the Martian communique; since Martian is described as an often-ambiguous combination of Fortran and Hungarian, this is no easy task.

Opinion on the Martian offer is divided. Some suspect the Martian Central Bank intends to buy the $100 trillion in platinum coins with electronically created quatloos, i.e. worthless currency.

These observers believe the Martians intend to claim the $100 trillion in platinum coins constitutes a claim on the entire U.S.A., the purchase of which would effectively give the Martian Central Bank a massive beachhead on Earth.

Others believe the Martian Central Bank is simply playing an interplanetary practical joke, showing that any central bank that issues its own currency can magically create phantom money and assets. What better way to illustrate this than to buy $100 trillion in phantom assets with equally phantom quatloos?

A smaller cadre of analysts suspect the Martian Central Bank naively believes the fantasy that the arbitrary creation of assets, either via platinum coins or electronic entries in the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, creates actual value. Though this credulity borders on the fantastic, these analysts point to the many commentators in the U.S. who have bought into the platinum coin fantasy.

If Paul Krugman et al. have swallowed the fantasy that something of real value can be created from nothing, then why not the Martian Central Bank?
 
Martian Capitalism
Print enough quatloos to buy the Earth. Evict the current residents and import workers from the moons of Saturn to return the planet to a state of stable productivity.
