Virtuous Capitalism? | National Catholic Reporter

Virtuous Capitalism? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: There are certainly plenty of the rich and shameless.  For every one of them, however, there are many who are quiet millionaires and billionaires who live quite lives, some in non-descript homes.  There simply are not 30,000 people living lavishly.  The issue of wealth may or may not be about Capitalism, by the way.  All those lovely rich people like the Kardashians and the headline performers, even if they have great homes, do not have an army of people working to produce products in their name (although some do if they are in fashion - although they likely license their approved designs - which may even be designed by others - to a capitalist companty that does all those nasty things that capitalists do to the poor.  Sadly, people can be personally frugal and still be cooperating in system that steal a portion of the wages that the workers should be getting, channelling through management to their own pockets.
