You mean it does for you. I have no idea what works for other people. I like Shaw&#x27;s dictum &quot;We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.&quot; and &quot;A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth&quot;<p>Capitalism is merely a description of people&#x27;s desire to trade goods and services with each other with as much freedom as is compatible with civil society. It didn&#x27;t need to be invented; it was a natural occurrence. I do understand that some people would like to prevent that from happening.
