“I grudgingly forgive #capitalism the misery it causes, because it’s the engine that lifts countries out of #poverty. It’s a precondition for a #free and prosperous society; attempts to overthrow it have so consistently led to poverty, tyranny, or genocide that we no longer believe its proponents’ earnest oaths that *this time* they’ve got it right. For right now, there’s no good alternative.”
