As capitalism prevails in modern society, the question has been raised whether or not a profit-driven amoral capitalist system is good for society. Some believe that an amoral capitalist system is the best way to organize individuals together to serve society. However, others argue that an amoral capitalist system will harm society rather than benefit it. In this essay I will present the views of two neoclassical economists, Ricky Griffin and Adam Smith, who support the idea that amoral capitalism is good for society. I will also discuss the opposing view presented by Arthur Miller that the drive for profit, an amoral capitalist system, would harm a society. Furthermore, I will compare and contrast the two views and conclude with Miller's view. Capitalism encouraging businessmen to make amoral and profitable decisions will not benefit our society. Although Griffin, Smith, and Miller have two significantly different views, they both agree on capitalism. it is an amoral system. According to Griffin, profit is the only incentive for any business to operate in a capitalist system. Smith, father of capitalism, shows his understanding of amoral capitalism by saying: “We address ourselves not to their humanity but to their self-love, and we never speak to them of our needs but of their advantages. ” (Smith 119) This quote clearly illustrates that people would act in their own self-interest instead of considering others under capitalism. Furthermore, Miller compares this amoral capitalism to uncivilized animals when the character, Christ, says, “This is a land of big, fat dogs, you don't love a man here, eat him out...the world is like this...This is a zoo, a zoo!” (Miller p81) Although… middle of paper… still up for debate. I believe that capitalism forcing businessmen to make amoral and profitable decisions may not benefit our society. However, perhaps Smith is right even when he states that capitalism is the best way to serve society before other solutions appear. And with a lot of evidence from different countries, I agree with Griffin and Smith that capitalism is efficient. However, I would describe capitalism just as a callous, bloodthirsty, efficient machine, devoid of feeling and morality. The core of capitalism is still driven by profit, materialism and money. "money money money, when you say it long enough it means nothing." Miller p73) How important are efficiency and profits, when they do not bring joy and happiness to our society. How can we feel good without compassion, moral value, sympathy and all that feeling that makes us human beings.
