I’m talking about all comments everywhere. Everyone commenting in all fora.

People bitch about capitalism everywhere all the time. It is the zeitgeist of our time that capitalism is bad.

if everything was good

… we’d be in a utopia. There are problems because it is inherent to the nature of reality that problems are going to exist.

Fewer economic problems exist under capitalism than in nature, or in any other economic system that’s been tried. Comparing our situation to a situation with no problems is fruitless.

A free market, ie situations where both parties must consent before economic cooperation happens, is the most productive arrangement of economic decision-making. It produces the least starvation, the least anxiety, the least disease, the least war, the least violation of people’s rights.
