And so we may remove it, and that whole system, or at least not let it run 
it's own course. Because money, or capitalism really, is like the giant. Not 
concerned about the compounds that makes it run. And so a free capitalist 
system isn't concerned about human suffering and injustice, even though some 
of the humans in that system may be, and so it isn't going to fix those 
things. Thus we modify the system, control it so that those things - 
injustice and suffering can be dealt with. The system comes to be more in 
the hands of humans that above them.
