BS. Capitalism pre-dated roads and infrastructure. People advanced into the wild to create the US, long before infrastructure existed. Infrastructure was built to lead to the new frontier after it was settled, not to found it.

Anyone remembers Obama's drivel: "If you've been successful you didn't get there on your own"?

The text denies the individualistic drive of the creator. Can a man create something worth trading by himself? May he trade it for another product made my another man? The text seems to promote the idea that a caveman is unable to trade a stone-tipped spear in exchange of a piece of raw meat without a "Capitalist" system.

As the text says, and I quote; "Thus the creators, entrepreneurs, investors, taxpayers, legislators, jurists, workers, and consumers are all necessary conditions for the production of the value that we find in the marketplace; but none of them, including the entrepreneur, is a sufficient condition: none can make it happen alone.".

This begs the question; is there anyone in this group who can do it without the producers? Can a jurist, worker or consumer can make a product appear out of this air? I don't think so.
