Thank you so much for posting to me! I think you really mean to use the word “immoral” rather than “amoral” in what you wrote. The word “amoral” would be more apropos to the Capitalism-as-car metaphor that was being used earlier. For example:

Car=amoral vehicle, incapable of morality, completely neutral
Driver who recklessly ignores all speed limits and stop signs=immoral person
Driver who obeys the rules of the road=moral person

As was being said earlier, Capitalism, like a car, can be driven within the bounds of morality or not. It depends upon the human agent.

Again, thanks!
