“certain lack of immoralities allowed in Capitalism breed people with the power to corrupt government in their favor.”
What are these immoralities allowed in Capitalism?
“I am against what Capitalism becomes when it becomes a self centered sort of cult that allows mass wealth and power in the hands of evil people for love of money and control.”
Are you saying Capitalism causes people to become too materialistic? If so, aren’t people materialistic in every economic system? Because Capitalism causes virtually everyone to eventually be wealthy, wouldn’t people in a capitalist society be less focused on wealth than people who have to constantly worry about trying to get by?
“No, but i will add it to my list,thank you for recommending it”
I have to warn you that I have not read it and am not sure if it is any good. I was just wondering if you thought Woods’s conclusions in favor of free markets were wrong and if so, how.
“I wish you a Blessed Evening!”
You, too.
Thanks for the links. I’ll have some interesting reading to do this weekend.
“”What are these immoralities allowed in Capitalism?””
Too many to mention, but once you have separation of Church and State it’s an open door to liberalism
Separation of Church and State is condemned as an anathema and is dogmatic Church teaching of the Catholic Church in the Syllabus of Errors

“”Are you saying Capitalism causes people to become too materialistic?””
Yes, but not everyone . You can clearly see that our society is materialistic,dear friend,not many people would deny this
“”Because Capitalism causes virtually everyone to eventually be wealthy, wouldn’t people in a capitalist society be less focused on wealth than people who have to constantly worry about trying to get by?””
If this were true everyone would be wealthy where there is Capitalism by now. Sorry ,It is not true and the corrupt wealthy are only concerned about the poor if they can gain something out of it.
I’m not saying there are not good loving people who are wealthy,but it’s not always a blessing from God to be wealthy like the Calvinists believe. The beatitudes suggests otherwise,dear friend
I’ll leave you with one more good article to read
