So the past few months have been especially distressing for the Britons. With the decision of their Prime Minister David Cameron to quit talks with European countries and negotiations to quell the eurozone crisis seems to have landed the country in a bigger mess. Now that the European countries disregard to British trade concerns in the context of routing solutions through international organizations like European Commission and European Court, the fate of UK in terms of its sluggish recovery from its financial crisis has been casted with a gloomy shadow of its own decisions. While many, including the current opposition in the country have indicated their displeasure with Prime Minister Cameron’s handling of the situation, the country seems to have retained a characteristic slow pace of recovery and the discouragement rendered because of the unceremonious ouster from the European talks has began to show on many market indices.

The economic state in Europe is in ruins right now with the fall of the euro and failed anti-capitalistic policies.Moreover, America’s dismal financial situation isn’t helping out Europe’s woes and vice versa.  Capitalism is a very delicate flower where it has to be nourished and properly looked after.  If Europe holds on tightly to the principles of capitalism, then their economic situation might improve.  The upcoming United State’s presidential election is so important because the major thing that is on voter’s mind is for their country to achieveeconomic growth; both America and Europe need it.Capitalism involves limited regulation, free market enterprise and concern for the growth of the middle class.  More importantly it is the separation of economy and state.  Many people across the world feel that government should not interfere with people’s financial endeavors.  Alan Greenspan describes capitalism in the following quote,

“Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices. It is this superlatively moral system that the welfare statists propose to improve upon by means of preventative law, snooping bureaucrats, and the chronic goad of fear.”
