Top exporter the previous year gets what's left over. Until they straighten out monetary policy, that is.Unforgivennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-78318919824550223172012-07-01T22:46:54.639-04:002012-07-01T22:46:54.639-04:00Multinational banks have been a roaring success fo...Multinational banks have been a roaring success for us all right.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384498650711795107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-72486477831518591652012-07-01T22:31:20.804-04:002012-07-01T22:31:20.804-04:00Dig the sour grapes in the comments.

Say 1/3 public owned, 1/3 cooperative and 1/3 capital owned.<br /><br />Large infrastructure monopolies like utilities and rail public owned. Personal banking, mortgage and insurance through credit unions, a good state bank for business development, supermarkets as non profit member coops, most service industries as coops. Free market capitalism seems only to work well in small business, E.g. Micro retail and restaurants. I'd restrict private ownership to those areas where there is a low capital barrier to entry.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384498650711795107noreply@blogger.com
