Capitalism is a means to an end, it can be a force for good, or it can be a force for bad, depending on the motives.

“Capitalism is a means to an end, it can be a force for good, or it can be a force for bad, depending on the motives.”

From Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations”:

“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.”

Capitalism, if defined properly as an champion of economic liberty, is always a force for good.
