  I think too many people only concentrate on the (sometimes only perceived)
negative aspects of capitalism while outright ignoring the positive aspects.
Then they define "capitalism" purely based on these negative aspects.

  It may be true that economy is somewhat more controlled in Europe, and
particularly in the northern countries, than it is in the US, but it's still
capitalism.
