Of course, she is entitled to her own opinion. However, she is not free to escape the consequences and implications of it. As a capitalist, I believe in the free exchange system. Free exchange of goods, as well as free exchange of ideas and beliefs. Thus, her article does not offend me, but I feel I should defend what I believe to be right.
Capitalism is centered on the principle of property rights and the defense of such rights.
In fact, laissez- faire capitalism is the only system that is based on this principle. Little human progress can be accomplished in a state where there is no recognition of rights, both of property rights and intellectual rights as well. Not only was famine and suffering inescapable, but insanity was rampant. They were at the mercy of faith, the opposite of reason. Well, it is the only system that acknowledges the reasonable and rational human mind, and all that goes with it.
