    Then you are in dreamland my friend.  

    I see nothing of the sort myself.  Just greed and avarice at every turn.

    then you have blinders on...LOL
    Avarice and Greed yes
    but every business that is in it to make money
    for personal or corporate gain, is Capitalism being manifested.
    At least that is my understanding of capitalism...
         Except of course the Non Profits that
    are centered in helping others. This post was edited by Baba at June 25, 2017 10:34 AM MDT

    Well, yes, Baba.  I didn't mean to just leave that answer and depart forever, but Democracy has so many definitions these days that the Museum is put forth to explain the beginnings and all things that lead up to present day.

    I thought it looked really boring until I read what it really is doing.

    The Museum of Capitalism opens its inaugural exhibition with a series of multimedia exhibits created by a diverse network of artists, scholars, and ordinary citizens, exploring the historical phenomenon of capitalism and its intersections with themes like race, class, and environment in the United States.

    Sounds really boring. The only great thing that ever came outta Oakland was Creedence Clearwater Revival.

    That probably is because you did not bother to even read about what it is.

    Go back to your record collection and have a ball.

    If the museum is in Oakland, (near San Francisco) it is likely a liberal stunt to distort the ideals of freedom.
