I think that people who demonize capitalism as "evil" fundamentally don't understand economics. CMV

I hear all the time about how capitalism is a system that promotes greed and everyone only looking out for number one. Every time I hear this I automatically assume the person has never taken an economics course where the economic system is shown as a social science with observable effects and results. Taking an objective look at the economic system makes it seem like more of an observational study in natural human behavior with little to no moral implications. Because of this, I think it is ridiculous for people to assign a moral value to a system rather than individuals. In my mind it would be similar to saying the road system is evil because of car accidents.

Would you disagree that slavery, as an economic system is evil?

How about sharecropping?

Feudalism?

Obviously, saying "they are evil and should be thrown in jail" is silly.  But calling them evil is shorthand for "These are inherently unfair system that leads to unacceptable exploitation of some individuals to such an extent that anyone supporting such a system must be evil.

If you can grant that slavery can be referred to as "evil", then it is logical that it's valid to assert that capitalism is as well (regardless of whether the assertion is true).  

As for your analogy, highways are fundamentally neutral, however, you could argue that biological weapons while still inanimate, are evil, in that there is no way that they can be used without an evil result, which is the same assertion being made about certain economic systems.
