I am most famous for popularizing the theory, Social Darwinism, which applies Charles Darwin's beliefs of evolution to society and economics. If for organisms, "survival of the fittest" is true, then it must also be true for aspects of human life. Those who are "best fit" with the most valuable genes will thrive and pass on their genes to future generations. Likewise, those who work hard will prosper in life and move up the social system to a higher class. If nature deems competition between organisms necessary, then who are we to deny Mother Nature? Competition between businesses and entrepreneurs is an important part of the economy, and is beneficial to the society as a whole. Besides, since it is human nature to be selfish, then a capitalist society works the best. Utopianism, communism, and other systems all rely on human nature to be selfless. But that's just not how it works. Individuals of that society are bound to be selfish, and desire private ownership and earning profits for themselves. Sorry, but no one is going to agree to having everything be shared and distributed equally. That would be denying our own nature. Capitalism meets the needs of humans, and it takes Mother Nature into account too. Capitalism does it all.
