There was an interesting short piece in Forbes magazine earlier this month by regular columnist Sramana Mitra called "Capitalism's Fundamental Flaw".
Don't be fooled by the title; raised on a diet of Ayn Rand, Mitra is a strong supporter of Capitalism, but she isn't blind to its shortcomings. Her article highlights the dichotomy between creation and speculation; to wit, how the Capitalist system neglects the creators of value in preference to the speculators who merely trade on the commodification of that value. Take a moment to read the article. Then take another moment and tell us if you agree or disagree with it.
