However, ultimately their philosophy turns out to be as unrealistic as the socialists since social liberalism by its nature requires economic liberalism/statism.

Exactly, and not unlike the position we find ourselves in today. If we had people as CEO's that had any moral decency, we would not be where we find ourselves today.

Capitalism unrestrained by morality, is no less a tyrant than a military dictatorship. It is just less bloodthirsty.

Ignorant comment! Now, go pick up a copy of Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom; you need not get back with me.

***If we had people as CEO’s that had any moral decency, we would not be where we find ourselves today.***

Please explain how immorality among CEO’s causes recessions (I assume that’s what you’re referring to).

***Capitalism unrestrained by morality, is no less a tyrant than a military dictatorship.***

What exactly does this statement mean?
