Capitalism hasn't failed, regulation has failed miserably. When banks have been able to leverage 60x of their capital, and something bad happens (subprime) the whole house of cards can collapse.

I didn't say Capitalism has failed, but Free Market Capitalism has.

Capping dividend at 10% will hinder market mechanisms - what's the incentive for corporations to innovate and to go pass the 10%?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 520867


Hey, 10% is a pretty good. It's healthy interest and very healthy growth. The incentive would be to make sure you stayed at the 10%. Innovative companies could come along and take away business if you remained stagnant, so you would still need to be progessive. Shareholders would jump ship very quickly if you didn't make the 10% max for dividends.

The solution is better regulation and obviously the role of the rating bureaus S&P,Moody's and Fitch must looked at.

What's to stop these regulators to become corrupt again and again. These animals can't be trusted.
