What do we know about capitalism's properties? Its supporters constantly talk about the moral benefits of sociopathic behavior. They say it harnesses humanity's greed... as if that's the only emotion to consider. (Rather than saying it rewards greed and punishes empathy.) So what else do we expect from courses in captalist doctrine?
It should be realized that the capitalist system should be treated as an economic mode. Far too often, people take capitalism to be a moral end.
I still consider the capitalist system the best for meeting human material needs when it doesn't take precedence over moral and ethical considerations.
