But capitalism is the subspecies
-
where wealth accumulated is deployed so as to create new wealth,
-
and to do so in a competitive environment.
-
And that second piece, capitalism,
-
was not invented by some smart guy like Adam Smith,
-
but rather evolved organically by trial and error,
-
by experimentation, by failure.
-
Indeed, if you look at a market society,
-
one of its great features is that
-
its history is littered with failure.
-
Learning to analyze past success and past failure
-
becomes a key part of it.
