Interesting but not particularly valid since it ignores human nature, the human part of us that wants more. The trickle down effect of globalization in places like China and India is becoming obvious. As is the hunger in those places for more.
Interesting, but why is it that different cultures have historically set up many different cultural organizations besides capitalism. Many cultures did not even conceive of property rights until exposed to Europeans. IF greed is inextricably linked to human nature, it seems ineveitable that all cultures should have developed similar structures b/c any attempt to circumvent greed would have resulted in unstable society.
