Pure capitalism deals with efficiency, the assignment of resources, pricing mechanisms... it has no viewpoint on whether it is 'right' or 'wrong'. If capitalism works best as an economic system, why not assign the values of right and wrong based upon their compatibility with capitalism, at least as a point of departure? To the extent that the social fallout troubles us, we can then back off from capitalism until we hit a reasonable equilibrium between the capitalistic model of right and wrong and whatever other models we might have. Seems to me easier to adjust our rights and wrongs to accommodate our economic system than to invent a workable economic system based on right and wrong. Karen
