I grew up in country that spent 40 years ravaged by socialism, so capitalism certainly feels like an upgrade. We as a society, have yet to figure out how to work around human greed and a need for status. Capitalism offers transparent and relatively productive ways of pursuing them. I often talk about systems for persons and systems for people. Capitalism is a good system for people. Individual persons should find individual goals separate from the capitalistic system at large. If not capitalism, then what....is a common retort, but it makes sense. Capitalism is the current of the river. While it incentivizes you to row downstream, you are also free to row where you see fit. Albeit with varying levels of difficulty.
