Obama's capitalism is a capitalism of connections.
I think the most important factor in getting out of the recession actually is just the regenerative capacity of - of American capitalism.
I think we've been dulled by capitalism. We're just blobs now - we're so worried about how we can keep paying the lease on the car, the mortgage, the lease on the toaster and all that. You can't really think about much else. If you lose that, you lose the whole lot.
Capitalism is about adventurers who get harmed by their mistakes, not people who harm others with their mistakes.

History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition.
Capitalism has been interpreted as an exclusively profit-centric human engagement. Some have been saying to bring people and planet into the picture. This can be a good change, but it is still not fully operationalized. Are you putting people, planet and profit at the same level?
There are no two countries with the same style of economic mechanism, with the same capitalism.
The Tea Party people say they're angry about socialism, but maybe they're really angry about capitalism.

So what is so strange about saying I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to reconstruct and reform this nation so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation? I want the country to survive. I want the country to succeed.
