Capitalism is about taking risk with money. You invest your money. By investing, however, you are taking a chance of losing all of it or gaining a proft. That's capitalism.

Capitalism in general, American capitalism in particular, is egocentric. It is all about the individual. It is narcisistic, where obtaining/amassing wealth by screwing others is seen as a virtue.
Someone forgot to tell America that outer show is a poor substitute for inner wealth, but then maybe only poor people say that eh?

Yes, it's called Capitalism.
It's based on money.
The more you have of money, the more powerful you become.
Beware those with too much money.

No, cannibalism has no place in the American economy.
