Quotes about capitalism
Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.
Herbert Hoover
Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Capitalism is the only system in the world founded on credit and character.
Hubert Eaton
We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.
Nikita Khrushchev
The strongest bond of human sympathy outside the family relation should be one uniting all working people of all nations and tongues and kindreds. Nor should this lead us to a war on property, or the owners of property. Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.
Abraham Lincoln

Ron Paul
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
Sir Winston Churchill
It is a socialist idea that making profits is a vice; I consider the real vice is making losses.
Sir Winston Churchill

Milton Friedman
