I argue that one of the functions of a capitalist state is to defend capitalism from itself, to defend capitalism from the capitalists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Capitalism is, fundamentally, an economic system that promotes inequality.
I'm a capitalist. I believe in capitalism. But capitalism only works if you have safety nets to deal with people who are naturally left behind and brutalized by it.
Capitalism is not so much an aberration as a step on an evolutionary path, and one that contains within it some of the answers to its own contradictions.
Capitalism is against the things that we say we believe in - democracy, freedom of choice, fairness. It's not about any of those things now. It's about protecting the wealthy and legalizing greed.
Capitalism works better from every perspective when the economic decision makers are forced to share power with those who will be affected by those decisions.
Capitalist systems function less well without state protection of investors, lenders, and companies against monopoly, deception, and fraud.
Capitalism is part of our system, but it's not for the faint of heart.
I'm convinced that there's a new way to define capitalism, and that the definition should include three ingredients - that we love our work, that we are building a traditionally successful business, and that we are having some positive impact in the world, whether it's local or global.
I am a capitalist and I believe in making a profit.
I suspect that one of capitalism's crucial assets derives from the fact that the imagination of economists, including its critics, lags well behind its own inventiveness, the arbitrariness of its undertaking and the ruthlessness of the way in which it proceeds.
