No matter how easily resources are made available, capitalism won't break down When resources are freed, there is a new playing field for entrepreneurs to add value, for instance the availability of information and the profitability of search.

There will always be more significant barriers to embracing capitalism. Many people are comfortable with the existence of a welfare state and will never be capitalists no matter how easy it is to acquire resources and minimize risk. There is unprecedented opportunity today succeed in the game of capitalism, either as an entrepreneur or a skilled worker, but there is an obvious lack of initiative among large segments of the world's population. I doubt this situation will change no matter how low the barriers to entry are.
