The advanced stage of unmanaged capitalism in which corporations and the wealthy, having run out of quick and easy paths to profit and economic growth, begin cannibalizing the societies in which they operate instead of investing in them.
Features: Declining wages for workers, privatization of government, dismantling of social services, sale of cultural & national heritage, debtor's prisons, corporate invasion of people's personal lives, and punishment (and ultimately enslavement) of the poor.

They're in a rebuilding season, but pretty soon they'll be winning Stanleys, as they should be.

Overall not too bad of an economic system but could use reforms such as how this one billionaire over a bunch of people who do often work harder then the billionaire yet the billionaire makes millions and millions more then the workers. Even if the billionaire did work hard it is not humanly possible to work millions of times better then the employees make.

The capital of Palestine would be Jerusalem. A beautiful area that is probably the most contested city in the entire war. It is an area fought over by Muslims, Chrisitians and Jews. In Jerusalem (the capital of Palestine), their is one of the most holy sites known to Islam, the Dome of the Rock. Which is a mosque believed to have been the place where a prophet descended to heaven. It was built in 705 CE, making it one of the oldest sites in history.
Man 1: Did you ever visit Palestine? What's there?
Man 2: The most beautiful places ever. Including the city, Jerusalem.
Man 1: What's so great about it?
Man 2: There's history, great sites and great Palestinian food like shawarma, falafel and hummus!
Man 1: Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, here I come!

That one ex you always think of first when someone says "your Ex". No matter how many ex-girlfriends or boyfriends you have, there is always going to be one who stands out in your memory, one who you always think about unbidden. Normally this is the ex who had the most serious relationship with you. The phrase "capital Ex" is used to differentiate.
The "E" is capitalized.
Rob: "Hey man, I ran into your ex today. Turns out she's lesbian now."
Jon: "Shelly?"
Rob: "No man, Jenny. Why do you always think I mean Shelly?"
Jon: "I don't know. I guess she's just my capital Ex."
No matter how many exes you have, there's always that one Ex.
Also called Marxist Capitalism. A form of capitalism where you are paid in social benefits instead of money and/or your social benefits are determined by how much work you do. This economic type was the main economic type in the Soviet Union. While this economic type is often referred to as communism, it is much closer to capitalism.
The Soviet Union never achieved communism. They achieved communist capitalism.
