Capitalism is pretty harsh, and involves few who are excessively wealthy who make the seemingly real decisions, to provide oten scripted choices for consumers.
In today's world of technology, we experience a considerable level of corporate and economic abuse from capitalism, most of it precipitated upon the outside world away from America and the 1st world by our corporate elites. If Africans had this corporate networking using them as a home base or an 'elite base' to paraphrase George W Bush, they would be rich, well educated, have cities with substantially less crime and full of infrastructure, have their diseases rooted out, etc.
We should focus on a kind of makret consumerism or commercialism overlaid with a level of economic democracy. It is not right that people who inherited all the money [world's resources] make decisions that are undemocratic, and unrepresentative of the needs and wants of the average person or directly honoring God.
I believe that a properly and freely educated public will be able to vote and pay effectively on issues. Capitalism brings us 3rd world debt and Enron, brings us a government owned and deadlocked. We must either enact anti-trust laws and freedom of science laws in this age of environmental and social precipice, we should not allow ubercapitalists to ruin the world and keep us from the ethical utopia we dream of.
