I think capitalism was entirely appropriate, and a great idea in it's historical, socio-political environment. With changing ideas about divine right to rule, etc, etc, I think capitalism was a great way for humanity to push itself into its next age. However, I don't think capitalism is the end-all-be-all and ends up disenfranchising lots of people. I'm interested to see what next economic and political ideologies emerge in the next 100 years or so (or as many as I get to see).

I read it like they are just a capitalist nation who tries to value more happiness.

It's still a place with money and taxes and jobs and you can go to shop and buy stuff. So its capitalist.

But their society as a whole has less of a consumer mindset.
