    The way to "confront" "capitalism" is to enforce the law. "Capitalism" as found is totally dependent upon impunity. That fact is so corrosive, in its effects upon "capitalism"'s reputation and its environment, that it dominates all other effects. Enforce the law against business, and all at once, nothing will be as it was. Then, perhaps, there would be leisure to consider the abstract differences between various economic systems; but as long as business is crime, that is an unaffordable luxury.

      And how do you keep capitalists from capturing the instruments of justice and subverting them to punish their enemies?

        Instruments of justice that are capable of being captured are not instruments of justice at all.

    Discusses the concept of Market Socialism, which is a hybrid system meant to avoid the worst aspects of both Socialist and Capitalist systems, while putting the goal of human fulfillment at its center.
