I'm convinced that capitalism was bastardized by progressives.
For many years our children were taught by progressive educators & influenced by media that told them of the "evils of capitalism". These same children grew up & entered the world of business knowing, in their own mind, that they were entering the "evil world of capitalism" and treated it as such. What we have today in business is exactly what they were told & eventually made it to be. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Not saying that there was no such thing as corruption & greed to begin with, but not to the extent that there is today.

I was brought up in business to believe that "you get what you want in life by helping others get what they want." In the beginning I thought it was bunk. But I'm a firm believer now.

The new breed of "so-called" capitalists are not capitalists at all!
They think the way to the top is achieved by stepping on others & they are willing to do so.
The way to the top is by helping others. That's the true & long lasting capitalism.
