“Is there something unethical about capitalism such that it needs to be qualified by the word ethical?”
Lets say you have terminal cancer. No, lets say your daughter or your wife has it... I have the cure, and it costs only pennies. However, I own it and control it. You can buy it from me of course at my asking price. That’s capitalism at work.
You can pay me 200K or somebody’s going to die. It’s certainly capitalism and it’s certainly legal for me to charge whatever I want.
The question to you and others... Is it ethical?
Is your choice to sell me a cure that cost pennies for 200k ethical or not?
Don’t know, that’s your call. Life is a series of choices and consequences. You make yours and live with it, one way or the other.
If you believe that you will have to account for your choices to your Lord, then perhaps you will decide one way. If you do not believe in such an accounting, then perhaps you will decide another way.
But either way, your choice has nothing to do with the system of buying, selling or private ownership of the product you have or created.
Be careful, you are greying an otherwise clear issue by qualifiying it with a characteristic that does not apply to it, just as Newt has done, and just as those who are attempting to destroy and recreate our country are doing.
And from what I can tell, they will succeed.
