@samir @shantini I agree very much with your underlying point here: what people call “capitalism” can mean a lot of things, leading in quite different directions.

In fact, it’s a word that means such wildly divergent things to different people — anything from “the belief that market effects exist at all“ to “the belief that pricing the dollar value of individual is a moral good“ — that I’ve become hesitant to even use the term without careful clarification of meaning.
