The American free-enterprise system is the foundation of our economic freedom and is at the core of our industrial democracy. It is called an industrial democracy because economic freedom and our democracy are deeply intertwined and mutually inclusive. They epitomize the ultimate expression of our rights of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Democracy cannot exist without economic freedom, and economic freedom cannot exist without the guarantee of property rights and an enforceable legal framework.

This ultimate interrelation has not been lost on the forces committed to converting this country into an egalitarian “paradise.” The conceptual problem with the conversion is that the government can’t control people’s lives without controlling the economy. Therefore, discrediting capitalism became a critical part of the American socialists’ strategy of converting free markets into a government-controlled political economy.

During the years since Marx’s “Das Kapital” was published in 1867, there have been no shortage of critics of capitalism. The critics are divided into two principal camps — constructive and destructive. Constructive critics aim at restraining corporate influence on the political process, limiting the environmental impact of industrial activities, and preventing system fraud and abuse.
