Or something other than that one note, a worship of capital and armies? Two notes, then.

And, regards economics.

Capitalism is great. Wonderful. Works for the larger society, but only if there are some checks to allow for a middle class.

Unchecked capitalism would lead to a very few people controlling 'most all the money, all the resources. A country which is one, big, company store. Bad for people.

Socialism is OK, too. Works. I believe there are European, more socialist, countries which have lower infant mortality rates, etc., than the US. But only if there are some checks to allow for capital to function.

Unchecked socialism leads to stagnation, lethargy. Bad for people.

It's not capital OR labor, it's capital AND labor. And whatever system one starts out with needs to be checked so as to allow for the other factors. One factor can't completely dominate, or it all goes to hell.

Geez!!
