All this cobblers about capitalism weeding out the week , recessions then regrowth ?

with all due respect Sludge you're referring to consumerism. We're seeing all of the above in China, who are the antithesis of capitalism. Capitalism per se isn't the problem, and like every economic system it has its merits. there is no one perfect solution and capitalism is the best we have, and works well in countries like Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland - which all have social democracy as their political standard.
