Capitalism[edit]

It would be nice to get some imput on what may need to be done to get this article to featured status. From what I can see, the current content is fairly stable and well referenced, aside from a few points that may need further clarification. Any helpful suggestions would be welcome.--MONGO 16:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article is pretty bad. It looks pretty and all, with nice pictures and decent grammar, and nice little sections. But it is not informative about what capitalism is. I remember seeing another version that was here before this one and it gave you a good sense of what capitalism was, all broken down into necessary components. The "Perspectives on characteristics of capitalism" section is too abstract to be useful. The "History of capitalism" section isn't any better. I suggest that the whole History section be moved to its own article and use all the extra space to go into more detail about what capitalism is. C-Liberal 05:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The results indicate that political traditions more committed to redistributive policies (both economic and social) and full-employment policies, such as the social democratic parties, were generally more successful in improving the health of populations, such as reducing infant mortality. From the abstract of Navarro V, Shi LY (2001). "The political context of social inequalities and health". SOCIAL SCIENCE & MEDICINE. 52: 481–491. contradicts the statements that health is closely related to globalization.Stone 10:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC) David Coburn (2004).

"THE DETERMINANTS OF INFANT MORTALITY IN THE LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRIES: A CROSS-NATIONAL TEST OF FIVE THEORIES". Social Indicators Research. 52: 215–234. also give no indication for a clear dependency between the two parameters of Capitalism and Infant Mortality.--134.76.234.75 11:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
