Not all would be approved, it should not violate morals. But since the conservative generally supports the status quo, and capitalism is the status quo, then they would support it for the most part. As far as social inequality goes, they would probably reason that it's natural to some extent. The idea of the meritocracy would not offend them. | |

| Jan 15, 2018 at 16:29 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | I think that Russell is alluding here at the origin of mercantilism and capitalism in Locke's time England. The growing capitalism was based on inequality, but it produce wealth (se Adam Smith) and in the middle/long run progress. | |
| Jan 15, 2018 at 16:25 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | Maybe we have to refer to Locke's Political Philosophy. | |
