Compare the ethics of capitalism with any variant of socialism. Inevitably, government begins denying our right to exist and grow as free autonomous human beings. Before free enterprise, society was based upon class, status, race, caste, power, and exploitation. Free markets and property rights elevate individuals above routine barbarism and destruction to the moral stature of traders. Individuals trading human values in peaceful cooperation defines the social morality of free enterprise.
Capitalism demolishes all economic barriers unleashing our maximum human potential.
Not only does free enterprise lead to social cooperation within a given society, it also produces international peace. During the nineteenth century, the world came closest to a free-trade regime, including goods, capital and human migration. This was a century of unprecedented peace and economic growth. Once countries began trading and investing freely within each others borders, they formed a vested interest in the peace and stability of their neighbors. People preoccupied with earning money have little time to engage in warfare.
