pull down to refresh

Most of the people who complain about Capitalism -at least in convos I see and have- complain only about what ever system the US is. Corporatism, crony capitalism, whatever you call it, they complain about that. They never seem to make arguments agains capitalism in general. As soon as I point out that Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Etc., have freer markets than the US (as defined by the heritage foundation), they shut down.
Whatever capitalism turns into in any given society is a reflection of the culture therein. It has to be this way since capitalism is simply a system of free trade.
I went to grad school with someone like that from New Zealand. Imagine his surprise when I showed him that New Zealand is a more pure capitalism than America.
