The environmentalists say capitalism is killing our oceans, air, land, and forests. Capitalists argue that they provide food, fuel, and building materials for a growing world.

Well, capitalism is a big problem, because with capitalism you're just going to keep buying and selling things until there's nothing else to buy and sell, which means gobbling up the planet.

Investing capital in the free market creates innovation, businesses, jobs and economic growth. Investing capital in the government creates more bureaucracy, more paperwork and inefficiency.

We didn't create all this wealth; we capitalized on an environment that permitted us to create it.

The financial doctrines so zealously followed by American companies might help optimize capital when it is scarce. But capital is abundant. If we are to see our economy really grow, we need to encourage migratory capital to become productive capital - capital invested for the long-term in empowering innovations.

I really believe that if capital doesn't come to the entrepreneurs, the entrepreneurs have no choice but to go to the capital.

I have said it already, I am convinced that the way to build a new and better world is not capitalism. Capitalism leads us straight to hell.

The key thing about wealth in a capitalist economy is that it reproduces itself and usually earns a positive net return.

Markets can do many wonderful things, which is why I'm glad to live in a capitalist country.
