So wird der Kapitalismus in den einzelnen Voelker gehandhabt:
A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TWIST ON PREVIOUS EDITIONS
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:
* You have two cows.
* You sell one and buy a bull.
* Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
* You sell them and retire on the income.
AMERICAN CAPITALISM:
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of
credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a
debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four
cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows
are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company
secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all
seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company
owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new
president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance
sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION:
* You have two cows.
* You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
* You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION:
* You have two cows.
* You go on strike because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION:
* You have two cows.
* You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow
and produce 20 times the milk
* You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market
them worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION:
* You have two cows.
* You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and
milk themselves.
A BRITISH CORPORATION:
* You have two cows.
* Both are mad.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION:
* You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.
* You break for lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION:
* You have two cows.
* You count them and learn you have five cows.
* You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.
* You count them again and learn you have 12 cows.
* You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION:
* You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you.
* You charge others for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION:
* You have two cows.
* You have 300 people milking them.
* You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the
newsman who reported the numbers.
