Letter: Without nature’s array of resources, capitalism would not be possible

Related Topics: Capitalism, Nature, Haaretz, Resource

It is important to recognize that nature is the source of capitalism; and the individual is the source of a great nation. Of course, ironclad founding principles like the Constitution and Bill of Rights are a crucial foundation giving individuals the bedrock of freedom to construct upon.

Without nature’s vast array of resources, capitalism would not be possible. Without a government focused on individual freedoms, and education, America cannot be great. Any actions that sacrifice nature for the attainment of capital, or individualism for the sake of nationalism, are backwards in sustaining both ideas. Individual citizens reaching their highest potential, collectively, are what make a nation great.
