Frank:
That's a puzzler, indeed.
I wold hazard a guess that capitalism within a socially responsible framework of standards would be the thing. The problem with extreme capitalism, as with almost any other system, I suppose, is that it allows success to violate the framework of support which engendered it. A successfgul company is NOT brought about solely by an entrepreneur and a buckket of money. But they can reap the rewards of success even tot he point where it becoms detrimental to tthat framework. That's why social restraints such as the establishment of the SEC, or social security, can be postiive forces in society. The balance point is a framework within which the able can prosper and flourish, but not erode the environment that made it possible. My 2 bits, for what its worth.
