After reading AJ’s post here, where I think he takes Danny’s argument further than it has the legs to go, I had to come back to this discussion and point out that there seems to be a rational expectations thing going on with regards to capitalism. Yes, capitalism is the best system for achieving material wealth, but I think an error may be created where we work from the premise that men psychologically desire material wealth above other psychological valuations, or that material wealth is necessary or primary to the achievement of psychological wealth.
