Capitalism is just Free Exchange. You are mistaking Corporatism for Capitalism. Psychopathic corporations abusing the rule of law for exclusive privileges to increase shareholder value at the expense of all else is not Capitalism. It is Cronyism. It is Fascism. I would take a real Free Market over whatever it is we have now any day. Limited liability is a creation of Government,not Capitalism. What we have now, usurious Fascism, should never have been allowed to develop. It used to be illegal.
The Constitution specifies the Government should maintain a sound currency and a system of weights and measures to facilitate trade. Von Mises believed that another role of Government is to enforce contracts and to prosecute fraud. I'm not sure if I totally agree with the Austrian economists, but I think they at least make more sense than the Modem Monetary Theorists and Keynesians. Every market intervention has unintended and usually bad consequences.
