Unrestrained competition in a capitalist society leads to a huge waste of labor and causes economic anarchy, which Einstein denounces as the real source of capitalism's "evil": The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil - Albert Einstein

Yes, while you type this collectivist nonsense on a device that "capitalism" provided for you. If you honestly believe that the "capitalism" we have today is "unrestrained," I am quite certain you do not know a wit about what either word means outside some ridiculous socialist paradigm that will not and cannot work because it is not "economics." It's sophistry, just like this completely incorrect statement from "Einstein," who should have stuck to physics and left economics to all those who were underwriting his research. Even restrained by the policy stupidity of the masses and their patsy electoral dimwits, "capitalism" has resulted in the greatest reduction in poverty in the last 70 years worldwide. Come outside the fog of ignorance and study something different from the drivel and gruel your teachers have been feeding you.
