Capitalism turns lemons to lemonade only by enforcement of just (and
classless) laws.  (See "Wealth of Nations").

Unbridled (i.e. unencumbered by enforced law) greed was the cause of the
Great Depression of the 1930s, and will no doubt be named by the historians
of the future as the cause of our troubles since the '87 stock crash.
