Capitalism. An Unknown Ideal

Individual rights, freedom, justice, progress — these are the philosophical values, theoretical goals, and practical outcomes of capitalism. Capitalism is the only system that allows people to achieve productive abundance, and the key to capitalism is personal freedom. The degree... of a country's prosperity is equal to the degree of its freedom. Those who defend genuine free capitalism are the only defenders of human rights. Government regulation, based on force and fear, undermines the moral foundations of business. If capitalism did not exist, every honest humanitarian would have to make every effort to invent it. Capitalism is not a system of the past; it is a system of the future, if humanity has a future.
