I really like these lists when they fall short. Especially when they link unrelated subjects and build strawmen. I can list other problems associated with capitalism which need attention so it can be improved. I can't see how communism can be made to work, period. I guess one issue many forget is that Karl Marx is obsolete. And I'd say he was disconnected from reality.

Regarding the comment about markets, of course they are flawed. But a flawed market works much better than a dozen central planners sitting in Moscow or Beijing telling the country how many lightbulbs it needs.
