7. When I was a teaching assistant in econ at Berkeley in 1948–49, a prominent periodical had a contest to find a new name for capitalism – the problem being that much protest in the colonized world was “anti-capitalist.” There were a few dozens of teaching and research assistants, almost all of us veterans of both the depression and the war. Someone proposed that we have our own contest for a new name, the winner to receive a roundtrip ticket on the Bay Bridge train from Berkeley to San Francisco (there was still a train). My overly wordy suggestion for a new name for capitalism lost badly. The winner was Murder, Inc.
