Capitalism Afterthought II

In light of reading After Virtue, I might refine my last post by saying that I hope a virtuous strain of capitalism becomes ascendant. Its application would be business conducted in a more virtuous manner.

I don't mean this in a "do-gooder" sense, but in MacIntyre's Aristotelian sense. This means honesty, courage, integrity, generosity. It means doing things with excellence, in accord with the best practices of business, as a basis for success, rather than greed.
