Slrubenstein, you put in the statement that "Most proponents and opponents agree that capitalism provides the conditions for, and promotes, economic growth." I demand a source for this statement. According to you, editors are required by Wikipedia policy to present one when asked. What's your source? RJII 21:00, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The above show academic research showing that economic growth started with the industrial revolution and is faster in more capitalist countries. Please give some sources that disagree. Ultramarine 21:03, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It's not up to me to do that. The burden is on whoever makes the statement. I demand a source that says most opponents of capitalism agree that it's good for economic growth. RJII 21:05, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- You have a point and it is good if you finally start arguing for academic research instead of dictionaries. The statement could be changed to some thing like "opponents have not argued against". Then it is up to you to find a source that do argue against. Ultramarine 21:18, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
