capitalism

the European map is the same as normal iron curtain times. Also yes china goes capitalist because neither the USA nor Russia would allow it to be communist (nor a bunch of other powers) make your own ideas for if it’s democratic Russia/china or dictatorship. The countrys hate each other because...

(If this is in the wrong thread, I apologize, the butterflies that I'm asking about here might be less than 20 years ago, till at least the GFC, so if this more suited for Political Chat or something, is it okay if the mods can move it please? Thanks. Sorry.) If you just want to get to my...

The Cold War of OTL was a dangerous time that saw a lot of proxy wars between the United States, the beacon of Democracy and Capitalism, and the USSR, the Hegemon of Communism. It wouldn't be until the 1980s that the US finally won the Cold War in effect with the USSR and the Warsaw pact...

What if NATO didn't just include the European Nations but Pacific, African and Asian countries (Japan, Australia and New Zealand) to form TOTO (Trans Oceanic Treaty Organization) or PATO (Pacific Atlantic Treaty Organization) to fight against the USSR? What would have to happen to and how...

With any POD (or PODs) from 1945 to 1991, what would need to happen for: - No dissolution of the Soviet Bloc or the Soviet Union - Socialism in one form or another becomes the mainstream, most common, iddeology - The USA falls in a similar way to the USSR (divided into several nations) with...

The Gilded Age was certainly an interesting era. It saw a great amount of industrialization the United States, but saw large-scale corruption, with Trust monopolies, called Robber Barons, or Captains of Industry, able to influence government policies, and become giant monopolies. It also saw...

So in my TL (link below), England and thus Britain stays Catholic, and Denmark-Norway is more successful in maritime expeditions. I don't know how strong a correlation ons can draw between "Protestant->Capitalist Innovations and First Industrializers" but one cannot deny that Britain and the...

Is it possible that the world could have been split into three mainstream ideologies after WWII? Capitalism, Fascism, and Communism. How do you picture the world? How much time would that system have lasted? I picture the Reich surviving and leading in Europe. That way there would have been...

During the Late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance, the Italian City States (Genoa, Siena, Firenze...) had half banks-half trade conglomerate organisations that concentrated a large chunk of the financial and trade power in Europe. They developed financial innovations such as Double Entry...

How would you develop a world where these Modernist ideologies are simply made never to take hold? Capitalism wouldn't develop, because there wouldn't be any virtue seen in amassing wealth and monetary influence, instead Economy would continue to work with a Guild-based production industry...

I've heard that the Song dynasty was a golden age for China, and was very friendly to commerce, despite Chinese society having looked down upon merchants and commerce for generations. So would a longer lived Song dynasty have developed a form of early capitalism if they had the chance?

1954: The year that the fate of Egypt seems to be hanging on two men, Muhammed Naguib, vs. Gamal Abdel Nasser. The power struggle decided between the struggle between the two men decides two futures: one with the promise of parliamentary democracy vs. an autocratic regime. Finally, through...

IOTL, the Cold War was a global gridlock between the democratic, civil liberties-supportive United States and the authoritarian, utopia-fixated Soviet Union. Through espionage, propaganda and political power plays aplenty, they sought to determine which way of life the world would ultimately...

So how would industry fair in a post-war North America had the South managed a victory? I can't imagine the Gilded Age is quite as gilded with two seperate, presumably capitalist (and presumably enemy) nations competing with each other. So I want to ask about a few industry in particular. 1.)...

OOC: Link to the Wikipedia article on Distributism So, as most of us know, the United States of America used to be a capitalist country before slowly converting to a Distributist economy in the late '30s-early '50s, with some more ambitious Distributist reforms delayed by the USA's intervention...

Speculation at the other board on monstrous 20th centuries led me to answer: capitalism goes low equilibria as a weak radical workers movement causes Ford-Taylorism to be unnecessary to buy off / discipline / sweat labour. But as a world-system capitalism a socialist we know it, and its...

As a global superpower, the United States leads the world in many categories. One area that it's excelled in for practically its entire history, however, is free market capitalism. Not only is that system America's socioeconomic bedrock, but it's also central to US culture and identity to an...

The innevitable dialectics of history, and therefore the innevitable victory of socialism consists of two factors: 1. The developement of class consciousnes and 2. The developement of the productive forces, and the ever shorter growing cyclus of crisis. The farer the productive forces develope...
