Some view capitalism as a Foustian pact, a deal with the devil, in which we gain wealth in exchange for giving in to the sin of avarice. So it has led to the belief that capitalism is somehow based on sin and this has lead to a kind of profound ambivalence about capitalism. Being productive is somehow seen as worship of mammon. I think it completely misunderstands the dynamic of enterprise. Business investments are the most productive charitable gifts in any economy.
Businessmen succeed by collaborating with others and by serving others.
I think this is the heart of capitalism. It's not based on taking. It's based on giving. It is tantamount to gifts which are actually good for their recipients. It's easy to simply spend money on someone, and actually hurt their morale and furture.
