Shame on the Rich

3. That's a good point too.

This study would have very narrow application. I have a mental tic about the whole "human nature" meme of pro-capitalist discussions. It always seems to come up, and Marx, Engels, etc. account for that in their writing, but it can be tough to explain. It's the system that rewards the behavior, not the behavior that creates the system.

But so few people are rewarded under capitalism, I can't fathom how people can believe that it is our collective bad natures that keep perpetuating capitalism. Or that capitalism somehow reins in our "evil" human nature, free markets "create peace", etc. But people keep saying that it does. You know what I mean?
