Guest explains to CNBC's Maria Bartiromo that the US doesn't have capitalism, rather the whims of a few guys sitting around a table

3/7/12, "Jim Grant Must Watch: "Capitalism Is An Alternative For What We Have Now"," Zero Hedge

"Jim Grant is simply brilliant in this must watch interview with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo, which we won't spoil with commentary, suffice to provide the following pearl of an exchange:

Maria Bartiromo: "What are the alternatives?"

Jim Grant: "Capitalism is an alternative for what we have now. I highly recommend it."

Maria: "We all do."

Grant: "No we don't."

Maria: "The Federal Reserve may not."

Grant: "We ought to be discussing an intelligent move to a sound currency by which I mean a currency that is based on a standard and not at the whim and the discretion of a bunch of mandarins sitting around Washington D.C."

In other news, Joseph Stalin has never been happier in his grave that Ben Bernanke has decided to shoulder the legacy of central planning and is firmly committed to proving that where Vissarionovich failed, the ChairSatan will succeed. At any cost."

"Ben Bernanke's grand plan to get rid of Crony Capitalism by getting rid of the Capitalism doesn't seem to be working out too well."

"Actually I'm pleasantly surprised they even allowed the discussion on CNBS. Although Maria's sudden mock concern for savers made me guffaw. Welcome to the last 5 fucking years Maria."
