It is, perhaps, the principal philosophical quandary of the Industrial Age, “Is capitalism fair?”

Resoundingly, our experience sends back the answer: “Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no.”

I’m reminded of Winston Churchill’s speech in which he acknowledged that democracy could be said to be “the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Capitalism may be an unfair economic system, but it may also be the fairest that’s been tried. It can, at its best, reward ingenuity and hard work. At its worst it provides a rationale for the routine subjugation the powerful have always exercised upon the weak.
