"Capitalism" is Magic!

"Capitalism" is Magic!





What do you think when you hear the word "Capitalism"? Is it a monopoly man with money bags? An economic system? Trade?

It's become increasingly difficult to determine what people mean when they say the magical word of "Capitalism" and what they mean when they denote someone as a "capitalist". It's become a word that essentially elicits an emotional response, instead of one of economic and/or political discourse for some.

The vid is over an hour long, but covers a lot of ground of what the perceived opponents of the word "Capitalism" are coming from and some history behind it. In case you're wondering, it's socialism and Karl Marx mostly.
"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard P. Feynman
