I have absolutely no problem with John Paul II’s take, and I suspect Francis wouldn’t either. I wouldn’t have even before. Capitalism works best, if not ultimately only, when and where the players are on the same page ethically and morally. The problems arise where they’re not. And as far as consumerism, even MasterCard admits that there are some things money can’t buy.
But that’s a problem with human nature, and not capitalism per se. Those same human nature dynamics work in crime, socialism ,communism, etc, and even more pronounced.
