Please.

Adam Smith is one I look to continually, and he himself showed that Capitalism must be balanced out with morality.

I suggest that you read 1.) Wealth of Nations and 2.) the Theory of Moral Sentiments.

Smith showed that both must go together. Both. Capitalism is the best system, but it must be balanced out with morality.

I suggest that you start following Jesus, and read what he said concerning the question “who is my neighbor.”

Put your money where your mouth is and start making it yourself. I’m sure Jesus will help you finance it. Right?

The difference is, you want the people who could make that decision, to spend someone else’s money, not their own.

Not the teaching of Jesus.
