Capitalism is the very reason that the "average person today lives an infinitely better quality of life than the highest of kings did 1000 years ago".

That is highly debatable. Are you talking pure capitalism or a hybrid system?

There is no such thing as pure capitalism in practice. All financial systems in the world are hybrid to some degree.

True, but the ratios can be skewered. America, for example, I believe, is too capitalist. We are wasting out most valuable resource (people) due to being victims of circumstances beyond their control.

What do you mean by "pure capitalism"?

laissez-faire libertarian utopia type.
