Capitalism’s Pros and Cons

I agree with all this, with the exception of “disorder.”  Capitalism is extremely well ordered.

Those old enough to remember the movie “Wall Street” with its character Gordon Gecko, played by Michael Douglas, will recall the talk he gave to an audience of investors that begins, “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies and cuts through to the essence of the evolutionary spirit.”

That said, capitalism promotes war, racism, poverty, environmental degradation, and inter-national hatred.   One hundred years ago, this was ugly.  Now, it’s a fast track to the unprecedented suffering of all life species on Earth, with humankind at the forefront.
