How does capitalism prevent theft? More detailed explanations would really help out some of these points. Also, some sources would be greatly appreciated. If there's any way I can help, let me know. [[User:Matt Hew|Matt Hew]] ([[User talk:Matt Hew|talk]]) 17:43, 27 March 2019 (EDT)

:I'm not sure exactly what the author meant. Perhaps the idea was something like:
:*Why take the risk of stealing when you can legitimately earn wealth?
:*Greater wealth overall in a free market enlarges the middle and upper classes, while shrinking the lower class. Average thieves tend to be in the lower class, with little to lose.
:*Theft is not a survival necessity--an oppressive socialist/communist government isn't making it impossible to survive by legitimate means.
:I'm not sure--what do you think? Do you have other thoughts? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 18:22, 27 March 2019 (EDT)
