Capitalism has been tried with the most amazing success in all history. Here are my paragraphs in praise of capitalism. They are somewhat lyrical but grounded in fact and open to review. An Enviable Record Capitalism is the one system of political economy which works, has worked and, given a chance, will continue to work. The alternative system is socialism.
Socialism is seductive in theory, but tends toward tyranny and serfdom in practice.
Capitalism was not born with The Wealth of Nations, nor will it die with Das Kapital. It is as old as history and as new as a paper route for a small boy. Capitalism is a point of view and a way of life. Its principles apply whether or not they are understood, approved and cherished. Capitalism is no relic of Colonial America.
