There's a school of thought that hold that what bugs us about capitalism isn't really capitalism. It has a kernel of truth while still being a "no true Scotsman" thing. We do not regularly separate profits ( which are derived from consumer surplus ) and rents ( which are not ) , which leads to much confusion. There may be less confusion this way than if we try to understand what is or is not a rent.
