And it would have collapsed 75 years ago like he predicted. If Marx had been right, and it enriched the minority by immiserating the majority, then capitalism would be morally wrong........

The moral justification for capitalism is that it is the only economic system that will work in a society that has liberty and individual rights and where the individual is supreme to the state. The common good is an illusion. The "common good" can be whatever a committee of bureaucrats decides it is... which is usually the "good" that best helps themselves and their cronies. The "common good" is $5.4 trillion dollars spent on the poor and social programs, and the poor are still poor and will STILL be poor if you spent $54 trillion on redistribution of wealth programs. FT
