That is not exacly a capitalist philosophy Ian. That may be your take
on it, but the idea of a free market does not take into account any
feelings of the people. The general idea is that a free market
performs better as it adjusts to real-life, real-time changes in
setting value.. I admit that this concept might be complicated by
several factors in the modern trading environment, and manipulated by
people who have market moving abilities.

Well China embraced Capitalism, you might want to ask them why. You
might ask why, after such a crisis, NOTHING has changed as far as
capitalism being "the way" in any country. None of them have
"dropped" it, as a method of trading, as a method of making money. It
works the best Ian.

No, Ian, it is about making money, which runs and achieves absolutely
everything on the planet. If you want to call running the planet
greedy, go ahead.
