Capitalism the opposite of Communism
Capitalism works better than any of us can conceive. It is the only truly Moral System of exchange. It encourages individuals to devote their energies and pursuits to the satisfaction of others" wants and needs, and to constructive action for the welfare of all. The basis of capitalism is not greed, you don't see misers creating Wal-Marts and Microsofts.
Think about it for a moment. Capitalism is truly miraculous. What other system enables us to cooperate with millions of other ordinary people-whom we will never meet but to whom we will gladly provide goods and services-in an incredible, complex web of commercial transactions? And what other system perpetuates itself, working everyday, year in year out, with no single hand guiding it.
Capitalism is a moral system if only because it is based on trust. When you turn on a light, we assume there will be electricity. When we drive into a service station, we assume there will be fuel. When we walk into a restaurant, we assume there will be food. If we were to list all the basic things that capitalism provides-things we take for granted-it would fill an encyclopedia.
