People should promote local products and be proud, it would a good way to have economic progress for any country. Stopping capitalism will help to balance the socio-economic hierarchy. I believe that if people at the base level are given enough incentive, then those above them will reap greater rewards, and which will in turn trickle down back to those who built the entire system.
Why does capitalism so often neglect the backs upon which it's built? How does this system manage to thrive for so long, when the masses are receiving the least benefit?
Capitalism has lasted so long because it's the only system that works, personally I do not like calling it capitalism because that is just the natural way things work, what you are describing instead is some kind of loyalty to your local products and that can be done but not everything can be produced locally and even if it could someone else will create a more effective process in some other place and create a cheaper product that you could buy.
They have driven more people out of poverty than any other economic system in human history.
The middle class has evolved completely from a poorer class. China will move about 800 million people out of poverty and living in the middle class in the back of a largely capitalist market, and they are changing to adapt to the world.
