Capitalism
The fundamental idea of modern
capitalism is not the right of the
individual to possess and enjoy
what he has earned, but the thesis
that the exercise of this right
redounds to the general good.
Ralph Barton Perry
Advocates of capitalism are very
apt to appeal to the sacred principles
of liberty, which are embodied in one
maxim: The fortunate must not be
restrained in the exercise of tyranny
over the unfortunate

The market is not an invention of
capitalism. It has existed for centuries. It
is an invention of civilization.

wealth which is devoted to
obtaining further wealth.

distributed: It is earned.

Capitalism is the astounding belief
that the most wickedest of men
will do the most wickedest of things
for the greatest good of everyone.
John Maynard Keynes

the equal sharing of miseries.

unequal sharing of blessings; the
inherent virtue of socialism is

Capitalism is our only moral
system. All other systems take
advantage of man's rights

While the miser is merely a
capitalist gone mad, the capitalist
is a rational miser

but that of self interest backed
by force.
