Capitalism is an inherently moral system of political economy, based on its voluntary nature and its reliance on virtuous human traits. The entity that embodies capitalism in the market – the firm or corporation – hones and enhances these virtues through a vast array of mutually beneficial exchanges, which
in turn enable further types of interactions beyond the realm of business. The genius of the market is that it enables a wide array of individuals, groupings, and associations to organize spontaneously to advance their various interests in a cooperative fashion that yields win-win arrangements.
