My strongest moral consideration in favor of capitalism is freedom. You have a freedom of pursuing whatever career or business you want to. You also have the freedom to pursue that career in any path you want. Obviously, some paths are easier and straighter that others, but you can do what you want and work up the corporate ladder to the top. People are age don't really know what they want to do with their lives, but they still pursue degrees and go through the work to possible pursue a job they don't even want to do. That is the freedom that is favorable. In the movie, The Wolf of Wall Street, the main character starts his own firm to run stock. Although what he did was illegal, he had the freedom to start his own business and pursue it the way he wanted. My objection to that is the way businesses are run. Like in the movie, the main character scammed a lot of people and got rich from it. And in that movie, many other stockbrokers worked for him and helped him make millions scamming other people. Some of these people has no morals and just think about getting rich any way possible. Like scamming others or taking advantage of them and their workers.  Please help me reply to this discussion post
