Isn’t capitalism utopian (unpractical)?

Capitalism is not utopian, but it is entirely practical theory.

A utopia is some ideal which cannot ever exist in reality, i.e., it is too good to be true.

Capitalism is not a utopia — it is entirely something of “this world”, based on facts observable in “this world”.

The fact that 100% laissez faire capitalism has never existed, does not mean it cannot exist, or that it will not exist in the future; laissez faire capitalism is a definite metaphysical possibility.

    Was this written for retards? Laissez Faire capitalism caused the Great fucking Depression. To the extent we allow to exist today we brought a recession upon ourselves.
