I quoted sources to support my analysis. And analysis is different from proof. I simply drew a distinction and asked whether both conceptions are equally good at supporting capitalism. I then warned that we ought to watch out for equivocations in economic defenses of capitalism.

And I meant "evolutionary" in a broad, Dennettian sense of a ground-up, decentralized formation of a social system.

You keep slamming me for doing philosophy because you want me to be doing economics. Remember that you're the one doing economics, not me. I'm the one criticizing economics from a philosophical standpoint.

I know, I know: I need to understand economics to criticize it, and you allege that I don't understand it well enough. But readers can judge that for themselves.
