Capitalism suffers from inept, incompetent, and weak-kneed defenses. It’s blamed for everything bad that ever happens, and never gets credit for the good it creates. It’s lifted hundreds and hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, but it’s hated for “creating inequality.” It’s good, but almost universally condemned as, at best, a “necessary evil.” In public opinion polls, capitalism scores well on efficiency, and strikes out on morality.
We need a systematic, bold, and unafraid moral defense of free market capitalism.
