Unfortunately, your question is incomplete. Indeed, there is no question here, just the title of an article.

What is your question? What is it that you want to know?

Trying to help, we can comment on the following.

In the article "Capitalism Will Eat Democracy-Unless We Speak Up," written by Yanis Varoufakis, former Minister of Finance in Greece, delivered a speech for the TED series. In that speech, Varoufakis questions the way world economics and capitalism have impacted societies around the world. Varoufakis also refers to the political impact.

In the speech, Varoufakis explains the connection that exists between politics and the economy and the way these affect democracy in different countries.

He refers to the fact that although many private companies have invested in new industrial plants and factories, more than a quarter of individuals from 25 to 54 years old in Europe, Japan, and the United States, do not have a formal job.

That is why this Greek economist questions Capitalism, He thinks that "this idle cash" has to be used to increase the education and talent of the people and to "finance technologies that help the planet."

Based on their interactions in chapter 2, compare and contrast the personalities of Huck and Tom. How are they alike? How are th

7nadin3 [17]

The main difference between the two boys is that Huck is more of a realist and Tom is an idealist.

Tom is raised by his aunt Polly and Huck's father is a ussles drunk

If Huck is the consummate realist of the novel, Tom Sawyer is the representative romantic. From the moment you are first introduced to Tom, it's easy to recognize his role as a leader, or controlling agent, of the situation. The gang is labeled "Tom Sawyer's Gang" because he is the one that controls its activities and pursuits. These activities, however, are always based upon Tom's exaggerated notions of adventure. Basing his experience on the fanciful books he has read, Tom tries to adapt his life and the life of others to that which he has read. The end result is a parody of sensibility and emotion, two literary agents that Twain despised. Tom's role as a romantic is extremely important because of its contrast with Huck's literal approach. Although Tom declares that his gang will pursue the exploits of piracy and murder, in reality the gang succeeds in "charging down on hog-drovers and women in carts taking garden stuff to the market." The vision of the young boys disrupting women bound for the market provides much of the harmless humor during the early pages of Huck Finn, and Tom is largely responsible for the slapstick approach. Tom's constant barrage of exaggeration, however, contrasts with Huck's deadpan narration, and Huck can "see no profit" in Tom's methods. Where Huck is practical, Tom is emotional; where Huck is logical, Tom is extravagant. Despite the fact that you can easily recognize Tom's ideas as foolishness, Huck does not question Tom's authority. On the contrary, Huck believes that Tom's knowledge is above his own, and this includes Tom's attitude toward slavery.
