Be it resolved, the capitalist system is broken. It's time to try something different.

There is a growing belief in western societies that the current capitalist system no longer works for average people. Economic inequality is rampant. Life expectancy is falling. The environment is being destroyed for profits. Political power is wielded by wealthy elites and big business, not the people. The answer to society's current ills is more capitalism, economic freedom, and free markets.
