The trouble with these ideologic arguments is that the hard questions are never debated.

For instance, my own opinion is that it is good that you can get rich by creating things that others need. On the other hand we know that inequality of income creates inequality of opportunity in the next generation. Which means that not everyone has the same opportunity to get rich by creating something that others need.

Capitalism isn't perfect but it's the best income redistribution method we've come up with combined with a small government tax. What scares me is that capitalism is probably still going to be around once scarcity of energy is eliminated on Earth -- it seems like copyright is keeping a market around for information when there is no reason for one to exist anymore.
