They are both perfect world scenarios. A perfect world does not exists. As such there is no perfect economic system.

Take a stand or how do you expect me to argue with you. 😛
 
I say capitalism. The harder a person works, the more money s/he makes. Completely sensible. And market always corrects itself on its own. If some people gets destroyed in the process, then it's because of their own greed that they failed to check

I am more of a socialist because  I believe in that the society should help others who are unable by some handicap. However, that being said extreme socialism like Communism, I do not agree with because I am too much of an individualistic, that I would not support any government/economic system that does not give just as equal consideration to me as well as the whole society.

there is no perfect capitalism as there is always interference of government especially when the economy is in bad shape. even some economists who are a big supporters of capitalism will still suggest that it will be best for government interference in some kind of injections, price ceiling, price floor, etc,. if the economy is experiencing a recession or worse slump and gloom. like for example the united states is nowadays a very supporter of free trade, invisible hands and free market but still the government is injecting millions and even billions of dollars to help stabilize the economy in united states which is greatly affecting the economies of the world.

socialism is not entirely good as well even though it supports equality and try to make the society more equal rather than the large gap of rich people and poor people or rich people with the middle class people. socialism could make the people lazy like in the example of australia and the welfare system of australia. if people in australia do not work they will get welfare from the government by taxes collected from those who have high salaries. a single mother wth 3 children will get more welfare than the salaries of both working parents with 3 children and this will make the people lazy that why do we need to work when we can earn more while we are not working.

capitalism is a person works for himself those people who work hard will get more and those who are lazy will get less. but socialism made people lazy cause even though they work hard or not they will achieve the same thing with those people who work hard. that's why people will stop working hardly and dilligently and start being lazy cause they think that they will accept the same amount. capitalism is destroying the world's economy but actually it has been proven in the past that capitalists countries are actually the world's greatest contributor of gdp and was therefore dubbed the first world countries. those are developed capitalists countries whereas the developed socialists countries were considered the second world countries as they did not contribute as much as the capitalists countries did. many people and countries have succeed in embracing capitalism and reduced the numbers of poverty greatly.
