Is Capitalism the root of all evil? Keith Knight debunks the idea in his latest article.

"There is a correlation between clean environments and capitalist economies for a reason. More freedom leads to more investment and social cooperation, leading to more innovation, leading to cleaner alternatives available to the masses. The profit incentive encourages organizations to economize on the resources they consume, which is why cell phones, televisions, computers, and thumb drives have increased in quality while falling in price, while using less and less resources. Consider a cell phone, television, or computer in 1980 and compare it to what is available to the average person in a capitalist country today. They all use far fewer resources, are almost completely privatized, have increased in quality, and decreased in price."
