The capitalist system does not
foster healthy relations among
human beings. A few ,j;eople own
all the means of production and
others have to sell their labour
under conditions imposed upon
them. The emphasis of capitalism
being on_ the suprer..ie importance
of materialwealth, the intensity
of its appeal is to the acquisitive
tendency. It promotes Worship of

ance its concentration is on the
largest profit rather than maxi­

sion of human society is done on
the basis of profit motive. All this
is injurious to human dignity. And
when the harrowed poor turn to

defense for the established order.
They promise future happiness for

visions of paradise to soothe the

system imposes injustice, the re­
