Apparently the sender was under the impression that my views on capitalism would be swayed by Einstein's unapologetic argument for centralized planning. After all, Albert Einstein was one of the most brilliant physicists the world has ever known, surely such scientific brilliance translates over to the realm of politics... right?
Does Einstein make a strong case for socialism? I'll let you decided for yourselves. As for me, I tend to think that Einstein's brilliance was mostly confined to physics and not political science or economics. Nevertheless, it is apparent that Einstein's feelings about capitalism and socialism are appropriate for his time period. Einstein, like so many of his peers after World War II, believed the turmoils of the past to be the product of failed-capitalism. In order to protect the world from another terrible world conflict, wouldn't a large and powerful government with sweeping control over economic and social issues be the best protector?
Again, I strongly disagree with Albert Einstein here. What are your feelings?

Well, Capitalism has valid criticisms, regardless of who is doing the criticizing. Ever read Das Kapital? I am not saying Communism is the way to go, but how can we ever improve without acknowledging faults within the system?
