> capitalism is devoid of any morality.

That's a category error. Economic and political system don't have morals. Not capitalism, socialism, democracy, autocracy.

Economic and political system should be designed to create incentives where externalities are positive and not negative.

I meant to say the same thing you said.

Note how I didn’t mention capitalism to have bad morals or to be evil. I did say heartless because neglecting morality (good or bad) feels heartless.
