No, human nature inevitably leads to corporatism. Let me give my definition of capitalism and corporatism to start my argument. Capitalism: People are free to buy and sell their own property as they see fit. This necessarily implies people have enforced property rights. In other words people with economic freedom are practicing capitalism. Corporatism: Groups of people organize (into corporations) in order to advance their interests (usually to make a profit). One way to advance their interests is to push for laws and regulations that favor themselves at the expense of others. So in the United States we have a constitution designed to protect freedom from people who are trying to favor their own interests. Now we're all involved in both sides to some degree or another. I want freedom to do whatever I want. I also want restrictions on your freedom to do whatever you want to do to me. Where do we end up? Well we never end up anywhere, we just keep changing what the limits of our freedoms are. Human nature being what it is, given the opportunity we push for personal benefits at the expense of others freedoms - Corporatism.
