@timbray my short take on this has been for several years: US-style capitalism contains 3 elements: 1. entrepeneurialism 2. loosely regulated markets (for both contents, participants and prices) 3. preferentially distributing profits from human enterprise toward capital rather than labor and/or IP.

My claim: you can have most of the eggs laid by the golden goose with just #1 and #2, you do not need #3.
