We must unite politically to safeguard the vulnerable, empower the masses, and lay the groundwork for undoing the injustices of capitalism.

Capitalism, over the past twenty-five years, has been a remarkable moral triumph.

David Brooks, in his column, asserts that capitalism has brought about immense societal benefits.

The Munk debate on capitalism has sparked a growing consensus that the capitalist system is no longer effective. Inequality has reached alarming levels. The environment is being ravaged for profit motives. In certain western nations, life expectancy is declining. Political power is wielded by wealthy elites and big businesses, rather than the people.

However, for proponents of capitalism, it is the driving force behind progress, not just improving our material well-being but also addressing critical issues such as women's rights and political freedoms. We find ourselves at a pivotal juncture: Do we need to urgently address the system's flaws, or should we maintain our resilience?
