"capitalism without conscience is avarice." True... but a bit trite. The same can be said of ANY economic or political system that is divorced from conscience. (Still, I believe that Capitalism understands the basic facts of human psychology far better then all the other 'isms' out there. and it is the only organized system of economics that increases the efficiency of the total --- because of Adam Smith's famous "invisible hand" --- and consequently, while by no means 'perfect' in any way, still increases the well-being of the most individuals, while maximizing the 'good' for society as a whole.) When you toss around Socialist rhetoric like "...rapes the currencies of small nations to the detriment of their people", it begs the question of which philosophy of economics and governance YOU personally ascribe to (if not Capitalism).... Perhaps you would care to enlighten us?
