Capitalism, maintains Bernstein (State U. of New York at Purchase), "is the only moral political-economic system because it alone embodies the rational principles upon which human survival and prosperity depend." The philosophical defense of this Ayn Rand-inspired proposition is the primary task of this philosophical text, although countering accusations that capitalism is responsible for war, imperialism, and slavery and showing that it is also economically superior to "any form of socialism or statism" are also considered worthy of discussion.
