Yawn. This old argument bores me. The market is not moral. It is a mechanism for distributing scarce goods efficiently. We get our morality elswhere.

Trade is a legitimate thing. The Bible calls for fair weights and fair measures, not for collectivizing a society.

You are so right: Capitalism is not an “ism”, it requres

The market is not moral. It is a mechanism for distributing scarce goods efficiently.
But actors in the market are Moral. The interesting question is this --- is it the role of government to make laws to FORCE actors acting within the marketplace to ACT MORALLY?
