Capitalism is one of the most universally loved and hated system. I agree with the three points the author pointed out to show the good facts about free-market capitalism. There was always a big conflict between capitalism and socialism. Many people think that capitalism is the most important factor for economic growth and development, and many people think that capitalism is the cause of social suffering. the confrontation between capitalism and socialism seemed to be a zero-sum conflict in which one side made a profit at the expense of the other Over time, many disputes and conflict suppression brought about Anarcho capitalism, benevolent capitalism, Clony capitalism and free-market capitalism. My conclusion: The best way to deal with the conflict between capitalism and socialism was given by Mohandas Column Shandhi about 100 years ago.he described in Swaraj the underlying theory behind the book that first develops the poorest part of the country with education and enough employment and then from the poor to the poor But most of the theories of capitalism are tested first on capital, resulting in social imbalances. poor people tend to move to the capital for a better future and engage in exploitation.

Question is, is this activity a fraudulent one, ie stuffing the channel to pull in sales. You all know the answer. It depends, there is nothing necessarily wrong about pulling in a sale, if there is a good business reason, and offering sales prices to do so is acceptable. But, if it is material and will create unnatural deficit in sales in the next quarter, as the customer will obviously not need more goods, it would be a problem if not disclosed. So it may nor may not be a problem from an accounting point of view. From a business point of view, how do you view this. As a shareholder, would you be very happy with the actions of management. Could they have done this to get a bonus they did not deserve. Potentially cause a fraud. What about the loss of profit on the sale. Believe it or not, this behavior is not that uncommon. What do you think of the business practice.
