  Hate to break it to you, but people are going to be greedy and selfish with or without capitalism.

    > ...people are going to be greedy and selfish with or without capitalism. True. But in capitalism greed is a fetish

      not a fetish, but rewarding. Survival of the fittest and the most powerful.

      It's a double-edged sword. On one edge there's the risk of greed, but it's also unparalleled in incentivizing and rewarding ambition.

        Ambition is not necessarily a positive trait.

          No, but many things have been invented a lot sooner due to it, than would have been invented otherwise. Completely laid back cultures advance very slowly.
