Is there a scenario where you would find an authoritarian capitalist system appealing, and under what conditions?

No, the government should have no say in what we do with our economy. I believe it is only fair that the people should affect the economy unless the economy desperately needs the help of the government. During the great depression, we saw a massive deflation because people were selling their stocks and losing a lot of money when the stock markets crashed, and not only that but they weren't spending their money which caused less money to be in the economy which led to more price drops and worse. The government did step in and start to help slightly but it was during WWII that the governme…  Read morent spending increased drastically which gave money back into the economy, increasing spending and raising prices again sending us out of the depression. The government only helped when we needed them, and so I believe they still should stay out of our economy unless we start to fail in it.
