The problem with the love of small capitalism is that "the greater capital drives out the smaller" - then you get the abuses that even a republican like Roosevelt felt obliged to reform.

A little bit capitalist is no safer than a little bit pregnant.

The choice as I see it is between regulated capitalism where the price of free enterprise is eternal vigilance to prevent abuse (that is to say to add responsibility to profitability), or a dirigiste economy where the price of control is eternal vigilance to add profitability to responsibility. In both you need eternal vigilance to restrain corruption.

Rather like the vegetarian I would prefer to see no harm done than grow fat (metaphorically).
