Capitalism 04 - Inventions of a Free Enterprise System

Consider the inventions of the last 200 years: electricity, airplanes, cars, telephones, agricultural and medical technology, computers, amazing advances in housing, communication and transportation.

Throughout history the vast majority of workers have been farmers. Farmers until recent times were unable to produce enough food to keep their families alive and a large proportion of children never reached adulthood. The invention of the mechanical reaper and other farm machinery has enabled an average United States farmer to feed over 125 people.

The ancient enemies of mankind, famine and early death, have been almost completely eliminated in countries that have adopted capitalism. As capitalism has been adding to mankind's wealth and freeing humanity from the threat of starvation, capitalists and the capitalistic system have been relentlessly vilified by academics, journalists and politicians.

Instead of gratitude and appreciation for the blessings of capitalism, the system is hysterically and irrationally condemned and its achievements ignored or attributed to historical chance. Instead of advocating capitalism and the free enterprise system, the United States proclaims to the world that democracy is our great political achievement and the principle for which we are willing to go to war.
