The glass is always half empty.
((((((((((((((
CB: Take the approach that the glass is half full, fuller than 20 years ago. What is
your implication ? That there is something new to capitalism that is on its way to
making the glass all of the way full ? That the processes that have made the glass
half-full indicate there is a new capitalism, unlike that which has existed for 200
years ? So what if the glass is half-full ? Why are you urging optimism about
capitalism in general based on the current expansion ?
