Freedom's Just Another Word...

I hold that capitalism is simply the economic term of art for freedom. It means that what you earn is yours, and what is yours you may dispose with as you choose. So those who are anti-capitalism are really anti-freedom. This is usually obvious to all but the anti-capitalists.

Victor Canto on NRO would, I think, agree.

In the long run, political freedom and economic freedom are not sustainable independently. People give up on political freedom if it does not deliver economic well being. And if societies do not achieve political freedom, economic freedom is lost as repression increases in order to keep control of the political process.
