Capitalism:
“The capitalist comes to a situation where all the others are specializing and he alone integrates their intelligence. He comes upon the synergies before the others of society. Realizing that society does not identify the synergetic augmentations with the parts in which they deal, he sees that he can claim the synergetic, ergo unexpected, benefit of his property and right. This is the basis of the profit system. Those who can see the prize before the others–they act as if it were theirs, when it is a product of nature and not of their own, ergo had ‘earned’ his profit. The augmentation is inherent in nature. That’s the point! Herein lies much of the fallacy of so-called capitalism.”
