Capitalism in a vacuum is perfectly fine. Arguably the best economic model when it comes to innovation and progress. However, when greed and the desire for power are combined with capitalism, it can lead to inequality and even cause harm.

I am just trying to get you to find the economics section of the bible for everyone.
there is much talk of charity, there is parts where profit is bad, there is talk of greater and lesser men, and there is the caste system.
We almost lost WWII because of flirtation with socialism. Thank God Jesus was President at the time, instead of a dirty lib.
yes, I do, the arsenal of democracy, and now that you have proven that America is not Capitalistic all the anti capitalists should shut the f up.
Well that is an odd response.
Iâm pretty sure Jesus was a staunch capitalist.
You seem to be unclear on what their main issue is.
putting profit before welfare of the citizen, stuff like allowing companies to dump run off into rivers.
He famously ran a very successful fish and chip stand.

The EPA shouldnât be worried about the profit marigin of Exxon mobile.
When you have a distribution chain like he had, itâs pretty easy to operate at a low cost per purchase and corner the market.
and the us was the only place that happened. every other country was better. the communists built the wall to keep people out.
It seems to me that most people who talk about democratic socialism are really talking about as the article mentions, âScandinavianâ type âsocial democracyâ (or would be if they had a better understanding of it). Unfettered capitalism will run amuck every time of course, and there is a push and pull on it at all times depending on which party is in power. They see too many people slipping through the cracks, losing it all because they got sick for example. We can do better.
tldr. youâre not going convince anyone with your words. you should try pictures.
Banking regulation shouldnât favor major bank over citizen.
FDA shouldnât favor drug companies over the health of citizen
etc
You should go back and reread my post.
did jesus tell you that>
Hey man⌠you are the one that brought up Capitalism as the defender of liberty in the OP.
It was him, or another one of my close friends. Does Jesus ever tell you anything?
please give one example in history of unfettered capitalism, just one, and when you realize you cannot then shut up.
