Oh, that explains it then. I thought we were debating an issue -- but you seem to have made your mind up. No methodology will over-come something that you've already decided on.

Unfortunately, I see little point in continuing the debate. Since you are not willing to see anything good in capitalism, using it to explain the methodology is pointless and will reveal very little to either of us.

For the record, I would (and do) tak the same position with people who see no good in communism or in any other political philosophy for that matter. Given that Marx himself recognised caqpitalism as a progressive step in socio-political development, it's hard to see that it can be all bad.
