No, people who produce goods and services that people want will be most successful. It’s not a question of morals.

It’s not a question of morals.

That's what I pointed out as the problem.

How is that the problem? Those who most enrich others through provision of goods and/or services will be the most successful in a capitalist system. Those who most enrich others may be extremely moral people, may be amoral people, or may be anywhere in between. It’s not a question of morals because morals do not enter the equation, so your assertion that those “with no moral values will be most successful” has no basis in fact.

McDonald's started off as a business model to provide food fast and cheap for the people. Now, it's arguably one of the biggest good chains in the entire world. Sure, it provides goods and services people want, but at what cost? I'm sure the executives of the chain are fully aware of the consequences of feeding these people an extreme amount of sugar, corn syrup, and preservatives, but they don't care. Can you give me an example of a food chain that is healthily prepared, but as big as McDonalds? You can't, because as I said, amoral and purely profit driven model will win out in the end.

Morality cuts into profit.
