Capitalism is not moral or immoral.

It is amoral like gravity.

And like gravity it cannot be ignored.

Also, like gravity we can put it to work for us or try to deny it exists and be crushed by it.

Or, as in the case of many, use it to crush others.

Morality is rooted entirely in the presupposition some higher power defines what is correct for human behavior.

So long as someone is willing to pay, there will always someone willing to collect...

A sucker is born every minute.

There is a strong case to be made for the intrinsic morality of capitalism. Anyone who wants to go into this arena in some depth would be well repaid to go to Acton Institute and acces the Journal of Markets and Morality at the link below.

Gravity is a property of the physical universe antecedent to all human existence.

Capitalism is an economic system designed by humans, controlled by humans, utilizing humans. Humans are fundamentally moral beings.
