The Meek

Most of the happiest and richest countries in the world have mixed market economies. They educate their citizens for free and encourage and give them that free education whilst ensuring they have good healthcare. They encourage their people to work to innovate,to strive for more. Their weak and disadvantaged are brought into society rather than punished. The Welfare of all is important and seen as necessary and noble. Housing is available to all.
In these same countries unemployment is low,crime is low,and education is excellent. They compete commercially alongside the elite,they out-perform bigger richer nations in productivity and quality of life.
It is not fucking rocket science.
Pure capitalism doesn't work,as communism doesn't work. 
In the 90s they talked about a '3rd Way' but that was part of the propoganda,as the 3rd way was already there,with most European nations,meanwhile we began charging our students and making the unemployed into a parish. 
We (The U.K.) are heading towards the American model of capitalism. Work or die,and fuck the consequences of crime and healthcare.
Sweden, Norway,Denmark,Finland,Switzerland,even Germany and France will inherit the Earth.
