Well, capitalism isn't fair. Socialism is fair. I grew up in a socialist country. All the prices were fixed. Books cost mere cents and were very affordable, for which I'm truly grateful. I never lacked books in my childhood. But... there was also censure (for example, The Lord of the Rings was forbidden and I didn't get to read it until I was an adult, after the collapse of the Soviet Union). And we all know where socialism as a regime ended up. It bankrupted itself.

Of course capitalism isn't perfect. But it has still been better than alternatives, at least so far.
