Nominalism and Capitalism

Beginning with Hume's associate Smith, the regular flagrant violation of Nominalism by Capitalism continues to be the conceiving of the 'invisible hand' as anything other than a past repeated association of phenomena projected as obtaining in the future.  A less obvious violation follows from the previously discussed Nominalist analysis of the I.  For, if the latter dissolves into a multiplicity of perceptions, then so, too, does any concept expressed as 'self-interest', and, hence, Egoism does, as well.  So, the vehemence with which Capitalism is frequently defended is not based on any methodological rigor.
