How does capitalism facilitate happiness?

Responses

It’s right there in the Declaration of Independence. Capitalism facilitates happiness by ensuring the individual the liberty to exercise great control over their life and pursuit of happiness. It unleashes the powers of each individual who knows themself better and cares more about their outcomes than the government ever could. In a capitalist society, our happiness is in each of our hands.
