This is what the author is talking about when he says most people nowadays have no idea what capitalism is. Capitalism is an ecosystem. Government is a bulldozer. To the extent that the bulldozer is employed, the ecosystem is destroyed.
Yes, and I agree with your main point - anti-capitalistic forces being applied is not a strong argument against pure capitalism.... but, at the same time - it would be irrational to ignore them in a world where they exist in every capitalist economy.
It is like arguing that communism is flawed because of human greed - when pure communism is based on everyone sharing - a ginormous flaw still exists in actual application of the system, even if the economic principle calls for that flaw to not exist.
Economic theory does not exist in a bubble compartmentalized from the rest of a society - they have a major effect on one another.
