A Capitalist Critique of Capitalism
Conservatives run into trouble when they make Capitalism into a utopian ideology. Here is an article about an economist who "laments the excessive attention given to stock market prices, instead of the intrinsic values of corporations:" Capitalism in the Dock.

Reading it, a few famous quotes came to mind:
    The problem with capitalism is capitalists; the problem with socialism is socialism.
    -- Willi Schlamm

    The problem with capitalism is that there are not enough capitalists.
    -- G. K. Chesterton

    Capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the others.
    -- Winston Churchill
