Capitalism is not a form of government. Capitalism is a symptom of freedom. It is the result of individual rights, which include property rights.

Throw an idea into the world and its impact will ripple and reverberate beyond your side of the shore.

The product of scientific achievements should be for sale. The scientist should not.

Some capitalism suffers from cronyism. All of socialism is perverted by the crony statism of the powerful few.

There is no more precious currency than the unfettered liberty to explore while engaged in an "Idea Economy". You cannot centrally plan the "Idea Economy" any more than you can plan fun or spontaneity. Regulations are restraints in an "Idea Economy". The entrepreneur is either free to experiment or not.

Capitalists desire purchasing power. Socialists lust for the power to plan society. Which is worse?

Liberty isn't everything. I just allows everything to happen.

There is a lot of talk about "rigged games" as of late. Big government is the most insipid of all "rigged games". There is no choice available to the public allowing it to avoid a big over-arching government. You can always chose not do business with a big corporation. Corporations that are distasteful can be avoided. A big, powerful, government bent on intrusion cannot be avoided.

Capitalism is not a form of government. Capitalism is but one thing only: Buy Low - Sell High. Capitalism is what happens when a government allows free association and respects property rights. It is a symptom of liberty.
