I find this to be a poor defense for the continuation of capitalism. A system being the current "most powerful tool for economic development at our disposal" says nothing about whether it is the best possible system. The same argument could've been, and probably was, made in the 1700s about feudalism, because at the time it too was the "most powerful tool for economic development," but feudalism lost to capitalism.
@Radical_EgoCom When you've *got* a better tool we can have that conversation.
Communism is not it.
