We have to find a way to make the aspects of capitalism that serve wealthier people serve poorer people as well.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe wealth should be in the hands of those who know how to create more wealth.
And if you look at the reality in the United States, where you have more than 40 million people below the poverty line and 42 million on food stamps, and then you look at poverty around the world, clearly the way we're running the engine of capitalism is not serving us well.
Our main task is not to see that people of great wealth add to it, but that those without much money have a greater chance to earn some.
I strongly believe that those of us who are privileged to have wealth should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged.
Capitalism has proven to be the only system that works, but the problem with capitalism is that extreme wealth ends up in the hands of a few people.
Capitalism is, fundamentally, an economic system that promotes inequality.
The way to turn our economy around is not by making rich people poorer, it's by making poor people richer.
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
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.
Capitalism has shortfalls. It doesn't necessarily take care of the poor, and it underfunds innovation, so we have to offset that.
