Thomas Sowell on capitalism

This, via The Corner, is a great quote:

"Many have argued that capitalism does not offer a satisfactory moral message. But that is like saying that calculus does not contain cabrohydrates, amino acids, or other essential nutrients. Everything fails by irrevelant standards."

It's rather like people who claim that economics doesn't "understand the human cost", it's a bit like my chair leg doesn't understand the human cost of not putting me on my arse.
