For it to functional properly, capitalism requires individual freedom. You must be free to sell or hire labor. Capitalism is great at generating. There are strong correlations between gdp/capita and reduction in infant mortality rates, increases in life expectancy, and curbing population growth. Capitalism also spurs innovation and increases the standard of living.
"You must be free to sell or hire labor." Like slavery.. child labor..?? Or importing illegal aliens and as many 3rd world "workers" as it can. Oh yes.. that is the Virginia Co.'s (America's) grand legacy. Now we ship all the possible jobs off-shore (been going on for many years now) - and still, the illegals come.

As for your: "There are strong correlations between gdp/capita and reduction in infant mortality rates, increases in life expectancy, and curbing population growth." - What are you smoking..? Our infant mortality: Infant Mortality and Life Expectancy for Selected Countries, 2007 — Infoplease.com there are 20 countries with less infant mortality than the United States.. As for life expectancy: Life Expectancy for Countries — Infoplease.com - we are well down the list.

As for curbing population growth.. we now have: over 6.6 billion people on the earth.. and in the USA: 303,937,562 (minus, of course, the ?? million illegal aliens our 'capitalists' have invited in to fulfill the voracious needs of their pursuit of laissez faire.. "business as usual" - wonderful.. Then too, their cost of being here is shifted to the taxpayer's (not the greedy capitalists) - yeah.. who pays their medical costs.. and the crime.. the schools we must build. Our population is ballooning well beyond what was projected in the past 20, 30, 40+ years.

As for the rest of your spiel.. I won't waste my time.

Btw, I looked at your site: Kiva - Loans that change lives

That from your thread: Help Developing Entrepreneurs.

Are you here drumming up business..??
