Capitalism can never fail; it can only *be failed.* We apply the simple rules of capitalism and discover all sorts of bad effects. We don’t conclude there’s something wrong with those rules or our assumptions about them. No, we must infer some *extraneous* problem intruding on capitalism’s perfection.

The reality remains that private property is incompatible with economic freedom, and that capitalism tolerates some limited and deeply constrained economic exchange as long as it does not threaten the privilege and power of private property owners.
