Is Capitalism Dead?

OK, so this is a bit of an "editorial post".

Capitalism is alive and well (although definitely under attack by the politicians and media). We take so much for granted here in this country. Here's a link to a short article from Cafe Hayek. There's a link inside of it to a short essay which is worth the 60 seconds it takes to read.

Next time you're in the grocery store, Home Depot, or whatever; you might want to take a minute to pause and look around. We have so much to choose from (sometimes there are too many choices!). And all of this due to the individual actions of thousands/millions of people, each acting in their own self interest.

What do you think it would look like if it was managed by the politicians in Washington, DC?
