I am whole or part owner of a couple of corporations, I don’t think capitalism is evil either. But I think it fails on many levels when it exists in an unregulated environment. Capitalism can be a very useful way to assign resources, if we allow a strong enough government to assure effective balancing against the potential negative effects. This includes environmental restraint, careful redistributon of wealth, and very strong measures to ensure that the apparent endpoint of unrestrained capitalism (oligarchy with a legally exempt power class and a massively disenfranchised underclass majority). Being born a Westinghouse or Rockefeller or Bush should not be sufficient justification for immunity to law and a life of endless privilege.
