The great hatred of capitalism in the hearts of the oppressed, ancient and
modern, I think, stems not merely from the ensuing vast inequality in
wealth, and the often unfair and arbitrary nature of who profits and who
suffers, but from the silent acknowledgement that under a free market
economy the many victims of the greed of the few are still better off than
those under the utopian socialism of the well-intended. It is a hard thing
for the poor to acknowledge benefits from their rich moral inferiors who
never so intended it. -- Victor Davis Hanson
