      Even Adam “the Father of Capitalism,” Smith said in The Theory of Moral Sentiments that once capital has ammased enough wealth to be thinking about buying the courts and the governments, it would be time to transition away from capitalism to a more natural and equitable system, whatever that may be.

      I’m reasonably certain he would have been screaming for a socialist if not communist revolution back in the gilded age.
