I knew what you did before I asked. The thing is you can't add up all of the total sales in an economy and get your GDP. You can only add up final sales. It doesn't matter. If it was 1% or 30%, the Singapore government still owns a company.
Italy was a free market with an authoritarian government. The Krauts nationalized everything and it was hardly free market. Hitler combined tariffs with price controls(why interest rates were kept low) that essentially stopped agriculture, and any imported raw material was spent on rearming the country. You're trying to draw a line between the two. The Italians didn't create anything. They were just along for the ride. The Krauts are really smart people thouh. Their innovation had nothing to do with their politics. Great minds like Heisenberg, Planck,and Einstein all laid the groundwork for atomic theory in the 20's before Hitler even came to power.
I could not agree more that inventions are not reliant on a capitalist economy. But I will not be disadvantaged by letting my antagonists pretend otherwise when it suits them, and not have that false meme shoved up their girl parts when the opportunity presents.
That clown guy, str8t, has been prattling about how no innovations or inventions can arise in a socialist economy. Well, I'm pretty sure the Germans were innovators, and I'm pretty sure they were socialist - though God only knows what Glory Hole Clem or Gooey or Str8t will say about that, as they redefine socialism within individual posts, quite shamelessly.
As to my math, I am not a mathematorian. I do my best with what I've got. If I could rail at an equation to solve it, I am certain I would excel.
