I should say that I am not advocating pure capitalism by any means. Capitalism has its own problems. It's here that government can actually play a role by leveling the playing field. There are excellent reasons why monopolies are generally illegal and why collusion is a bad thing and why insiders are scrutinized for illegal stock trades that can make them rich based on insider information.
Government's job is to ensure fair competition. It's still competition, though. It's when fair competition exists that capitalism blooms.
