If you listen to how European leftist intellectuals (as well as some intellectuals in the Americas) discuss capitalism, you would be struck by the laughable caricature that they portray. I am not an economist, but I do understand capitalism. There is simply not enough money in existence, since the money supply is strictly controlled in order to avoid inflation. If a property in New York is sold, that money then becomes kinetic energy because the money is being put into motion. Capitalism is bizarrely blamed because around 1900, people were crowded in cities (photographs are usually shown of crowded, dismal dwellings).
