Got a problem? Blame capitalism!

Jonah Goldberg is normally spot-in with his writing, but I particularly enjoyed this piece which also appeared in the ABQ Journal.

As Goldberg eloquently points out, capitalism is blamed for ever wrong, every human foible, and seemingly every problem humanity faces, but never gets credit for all the things that provides us and for bringing billions of Indians and Chinese out of poverty. More importantly, when capitalism is blamed, the problem is not usually “the system,” but human frailties like greed and theft that would persist regardless of what economic system we lived under.
