No moral system can force individuals to act morally. This is a contradiction of man's nature as a rational being.Michael Cautionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915960777917930497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221151102593957108.post-18294308437687227352007-04-25T13:27:00.000-05:002007-04-25T13:27:00.000-05:00Of the limited information in the post about the s...Of the limited information in the post about the substance of the idea, I have to agree with the premise.<BR/><BR/>Capitalism is truly a moral institution so long as individual integrity remains in tact - certainly this is its greatest flaw. <BR/><BR/>Capitalism allows individuals to succeed, to provide opportunities to others, and to offer the world innovations that come by competition.Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738978748809484109noreply@blogger.com
