Prepending "fair scales" and other socialist notions to "capitalism" is akin to painting lipstick on a pig. Socialism is a pig no matter how you dress it up.

You realize that Adam Smith himself, when read on the whole, did not take such a Darwinistic approach to capitalism (Wealth of Nations for instance)? "Fair scales" capitalism means that Walmart can't drive down wages then urge their employees to go get on government assistance. I guess that kind of thing doesn't happen paddling in a boat on an African river?
