Mickey Mouse Capitalism Op-Ed in Fortune

I have an op-ed in Fortune today on Why Not Capitalism? It starts:

Move over, Adam Smith. The new moral champion of capitalism is Mickey Mouse.

It ends:

The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse shows us, to our great surprise, that when we judge systems by Marxist moral standards, what emerges as the best way to live together isn’t a Marxist commune, but Clubhouse Capitalism. In the real world, capitalism, for all its terrible shortcomings, does better than socialism. But even in utopian conditions, capitalism retains the moral high ground. Capitalism beats socialism at every level.
