“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”

Applies to the democracy + capitalism combination, as well.

We can try to improve upon it, but should be carefull to not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
