The Structure Of World Economies Explained Using Cows (17 pics)

A New Zealand Corporation:
You have two cows. The one on the left is beginning to look quite attractive.

Ecownomics and Cowporations...

Fractional lending bank:

You have 1 cow. You loan 10 of them to 10 at-risk borrowers. 7 borrowers spend the rest of their lives paying back the equivalent of 5 cows each. 3 borrowers default, so the federal government steals 12 cows from the 7 borrowers who didn't default and gives them to you to keep your doors open because you're "too big to fail."

Actual socialism.

You have two cows. The State requires that you give one cow to your neighbor ... that is a vegan.

Capitalism!!!!
