Conscious Capitalism, an oxymoron?

Why I arrived here is a complicated story but the essence is indicated in a post to a blog that is getting increasingly unwieldy.

I am a longstanding private student of social history/change and passionate about saving our world from its own folly before it is too late.

This is why I need to critique what I think is the illusion that capitalism in its current form can save the world; i.e. the illusion that “the leopard can change its spots”, or that it is safe to put “sharks in charge of the swimming pool”.

I hasten to add that I am not referring to human beings trapped in an unreformed capitalist structure, but to a-human creatures of law endowed with capacities not enjoyed by humans, yet having the legal status and privileges of persons.

Re: Conscious Capitalism, an oxymoron?

Oxymoron or a new culture?  Your critique of capitolism is not uncommon to many participants here.  It is the development of a new form of organization, call it what you wish, that drives the discussion of “social capitalism” and “conscious capitalism”. 

I appreciate your skeptisism but am anxious to hear your suggestions of a new model.  It is easier to critize than it is to suggest a solution.  In an ideal world they are done together.

I look forward to reading your creative ideas.  Don't worry about the titles.
