[edit] POV notice

Does this need to be explained in detail? Hopefully the article will be deleted soon, so this is just temporary cover. Sumahoy 01:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keep this article but add more information...

If this article is to be deleted then so shall the article under the same heading in reference.com as they are nearly identicle save that this article has cut out a few superfluous words. I would like to see more information on what exactly defines a consumer and a capitalist nation for all those who may not be aware of these concepts and their direct application to Americans.

[edit] Inaccuracies

FTA: "Motivated by the accumulation of personal wealth (not always in the terms of cash flow); the idea that the business' desire for profit is the main motivation of the economy, regardless of environmental issues."

This is incorrect, many capitalists regard market forces as a viable pro-environment force. Also, some consider environmental issues to be property rights issues. Sources:
