Apparently that’s the case, as Professor Ralph Reiland explains in this excellent article.
Lots of people still say that they dislike “capitalism,” but if you ask if they’re satisfied with their business dealings with, oh, their dry cleaners, grocery stores, book sellers, painters, etc, mostly they say that they are. Small businesses aren’t political pets and will go out of business unless they can please customers. They have to deliver good value for the money and people know it.
Americans don’t like crony capitalism, with good reason. Pure, uncontaminated capitalism is just fine.
