X : Are you against capitalism?
Me : Quite the opposite, I'm a fan. I simply appreciate that the market system is a tool with self destructive tendencies and it is not suited to all contexts. It's a bit like agile, it doesn't work everywhere. It has its place.

X : Being a fan of a deliberately egregious system is not a good look
Me : Fair point but free market capitalism isn't a replacement for society (that's a problem), it should be a tool used by society in areas of exploration. A bit like the old insource vs outsource debate ...

... I'll tell you what I'm not a fan of. I'm not a fan of capitalism for all the things or nationalisation for all the things or agile for all the thing or outsource for all the things or six sigma for all the things or anything for all the things. As I said, I like context.
X : I am coming to distrust questions that depend on multi-meaning trigger words.
Me : Oh, I couldn't agree more. There is a problem here especially in economics. The way that US economists look at economic theory is not the same as Europe.

To make matters worse, in “Individualism between nature and nurture. BĂLAN & VREJA, 2017”, the authors noted
“individualism versus collectivism” orientation suffered significant modifications during the three years of under-graduate studies"
