…the myth of socialism is far stronger than the reality of capitalism. That is because capitalism is not really an ism at all. It is what people do if you leave them alone.

While the Beichmen quote makes an excellent point, I’d recommend we stop using the term “capitalism” and its derivatives because it is a product of Marxist thinking and philosophy. The final sentence of the quote makes the point on why we should really use the term “free enterprise” to describe the desired state and the activities of wealth creation arising from the condition of being free in the way God intended.
