Well said! I've never really considered comparing our capitalist society to our family governance and how they should or should not be the same. It's a thought-provoking discussion.
Great article! I would add that both the family and capitalism are machines for facilitating personal improvement. A good parent will set ridged rules for their child when they are young, which gradually relax as they grow older and are more capable of making good choices. As a child becomes an adult, a capitalist system gives a person (entrepreneurs especially) the freedom to choose how their unique strengths and interests can be invested in improving society--with various levels of uncertainly as to the return they can get back. The voluntary giving of ones time, talents and resources (for potential return) is as beneficial to an adult as the care of a parent is to a child. If not more so! An adult that is treated like a child (socialism) cannot grow the way he/she needs to.
