The continued power grab will destroy the capitalist system shackling the limbs of the free market. The regulation imposed creates factions limiting the ease of market entry. The environment that our American business calls home must remain competitive assuring quality goods to consumers while encouraging technological advancements. The path our federal government is currently on is a path of non-democratic regulation that is a threat to the growth and prosperity of our country.

When the government is involved, a nation can reach its full potential, but without government control, societies are destined for corruption. Without having rules and regulations that the government sets, a capitalist society would quickly become overrun with greed, which would eventually lead to destruction.

But, this would lower profits and prevent “advanced capitalism.” The decision to claim that cultures with what is considered modern technology is defined by military power rather than which culture is actually superior. It is this force that essentially created this gap.

The morale of this article is that the Hollywood images of the old west are not accurate, well-defined property rights links to wealth and prosperity, and that institutional entrepreneurs are heroes who civilize the world and even provide proper management to natural resources so that they are not
Loss of Humanity Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, is a satirical piece of fiction, based on a false symbol of any type of universal happiness.
