    Cultural depictions of capitalism are almost all negative. There's the Monopoly guy with the top hat and cigar. There's Gordon Gekko saying, "Greed is good." The message is clear: capitalism is selfish. Socialism, or something like it, is selfless. In fact, the opposite is true.pic.twitter.com/lC3IatlLy3

        Lol. Capitalism is based on your right to your life, your right to your liberty, your right to your property and your right to the pursuit of your own happiness. Capitalism is all about doing what’s best for yourself. And that’s what makes it the only moral system.

        The word "capitalism" itself was a pejorative coined by early socialists, and is utterly misleading in any case because the "-ism" strongly denotes a "systerm -- -- whereas "capitalism", or Free Enterprise, is no system at all, but rather merely economic human nature set free.

        It IS definitely a system. A system of ownership, a system of manufacturing, a system of distribution, a system of organizing workers, a system of capital (produced by working-class) moving upward in hierarchies while products and services move to where people can pay for it.

        Agreed! If you want people to thrive, allow them the choice of being an employee or a business owner 💵🔧💰

        If they have no money to start a business, do they really have a choice?

        I have an 11 year old son who has up a lemonade stand many days this summer. He has experimented with also selling water bottles, selling cookies and brownies as well, and managing two stands. Long live capitolism.

        https://youtu.be/EM7BgrddY18  OMG! I'm glad you gave me a reason to share this video! I love this video. I know it's about 6 times longer than a Prager U video, but it's definitely well worth the time.

        Both my husband and myself began our businesses last year. We've taken the first steps. Soon we hope to see them grow. We dare other entrepreneurs to the same.

        "...but to concern themselves with the needs and desires of others" NOT TRUE. They can only produce and sell if others have the money to buy. Thus, homeless need homes but have no money to buy. Capitalism does not concern itself with the needs of others. ONLY if you have money.

        Greed is NOT the "immediate consumption of goods". If entrepreneurs we're not greedy, they found non-profit, worker-owned businesses and charge less. Entrepreneurs will always take advantage of whatever opportunity to charge more for products if they can get away with it. GREED.
