A morality is just a set of rules on human behavior and some moralities aren't as good as others. Governments turn those moralities into laws by attaching penalties to those that violate the rules. I think that the rule of law is essential to capitalism because it protects the means of production from expropriation by the state or others. The rule of law was probably essential for a mercantile economy also. > "The commodity form of goods is hostile to needs" This is history, not > ethics. > Nothing in the nature of reality forbids the existence of the commodity. Commodities, market, and money seem to be essential for economies whether capitalist or socialist. But, why is there confusion over this? -- Ron
