a: Capitalism ~
b: bacteria
What: "Capitalism is like bacteria - always seems to win in the end, despite the development of new antibiotics (regulations) that apparently mutate and become ineffective over time." This is superior association. This analogy links the dynamism of capitalism with a very dynamic life-form.

capitalism is like cholesterol
a: capitalism ~
b: cholesterol
What: "My own feeling is that there are. I've often said that capitalism is like cholesterol: there's good capitalism and bad capitalism. My view is that the democratic structures of a just society should maximize the more benign and helpful forms of capitalism while diminishing to the uttermost its hurtful manifestations."

Capitalism is like fire

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
