That seems to be the social/political model most utilized by the human species. The communisit model is ideal but it tends to break down into corruption because of our evolutionary preclivities.
Like I said: it really depends on which social theory you buy into. ::shrug:: There is enough contrary evidence available to suggest that it is not as simple as a altruism/capitalism model. And I never said that these differing social theories were somehow akin to communism. I just stated that it is not necessarily true that capitalism is inherent to our nature.
