The United States made its greatest advances when capitalism was controlled by government regulation on one hand and labor unions on the other.

Then...the pigs got greedy. What we have now is hardly an "advance." Unless you think going down the shitter is "advancement."

One has to be careful when talking about complex paradigms like capitalism and its association with government, though.

I am in agreement 100% with a mixed economy because evidence (and history) shows us that's what works. going to either extreme generally gives bad results.

And what of all the disputes that don't get settled by eBay and result in further action? Who deals with those?

What about the legal system(s) that eBay are bound to operate under dependent on the state to which they are trading in?
