Capitalism Saves Lives
Comments

Capitalism doesn't satisfy demand - it creates it.
It creates a demand for better technology, which in turn creates a demand for more science.
But it also needs to create a demand for its products and services.
The end result is not really much better than the lifestyle of wild animals who are not encumbered with over-sized brains.

If it is true that Capitalism and technological advances go hand in hand, then it is also true that Capitalism has brought not only wealth to the masses, but also war.
In times gone by, war took place on battlefields, but these days non-combatants are regarded as fair game.
In times gone by, the poorest 10% starved - these days they get bombed!
