Too many conservatives who never actually read Adam Smith do not know that he was a moral philosopher, who insisted that capitalism like any other human endeavor must be conducted within the bounds of morality.

In this regard it is no different and no worse than any other system yet devised. And as bitter experience has shown, it is far better than most.

To ascribe only to capitalism those universal human corruptions, which occur in every system and usually to a far greater extent in the alternatives, is an egregious display.
