I'm sending this to you privately, since I'm not sure that it's of 
general interest to the list, but I hope you will find it useful: I 
would recommend you read The Soul of Capitalism, by William Greider, for 
ways in which capitalism can be reframed as a positive force.  
Capitalism can in fact be responsible for the good of people 
everywhere--it's just not aligned well with those goals at the moment.
