Hi John,
Beans, Herschey-bars, Big-Macs, dollars, things - same thing - you can
count them and see who's got the most units of currency
The problem is not capitalism - it's capitalism based on counting,
rather than based on values.
I personally have lots of capital I value, that you can't count - so
"it doesn't count" apparently ;-)
