- jcims 7y agoEh, a capitalist system is going to reflect the moral framework of the participants. The participant here is the stock market, and its moral framework is based on economic growth and profit for shareholders. In that regard this was a good outcome and, as a result, is rewarded.
- asutekku 7y agoWhich means it has no morality no matter how you try to twist it.
- jcims 7y agoSure, no intrinsic morality...more of a passthrough.
