Well, I'd say at least less exploitation than the raw capitalism the US has right now.

The funny thing is that the Allied powers helped establish a nation that has fixes for many problems the US faces right now, both constitutionally and economically in 1949.

Germany's economy calls itself "social market economy" and acknowledges that the state has to interfere with "the market" whenever the developing power gradient in capitalism threatens to stomp the weaker. Does it work perfectly? Of course not! Nothing does on that level. Is it in danger of being hollowed out by capitalist fuckfaces constantly? Absolutely. Yet the model might give.some ideas.

In the American model, Larry and Carl turn the tray themselves, there's only one slice of pie on it, and Homer is still in the dungeon getting whipped.
