I think Johan Norber writes about this in his The Capitalist Manifesto,
and he also provides his sources as well, although no one I have ever
chatted with on usenet has ever read the book.

The Capitalist Manifesto may refer to:
   The Capitalist Manifesto (Kelso and Adler book), a 1958 book by
Louis O. Kelso and Mortimer J. Adler
   Capitalist Manifesto, a 2021 book by Robert Kiyosaki
   The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the
World, a 2023 book by Johan Norberg

Oh no, that is incorrect. Socializing the cost, and what Uncle sam does is not capitalism. Read the Norberg book, and he will explain it to you.
If you want, I can help you find it for free online. It would be a dream to setup a debate between you and Johan, but he is very busy and difficult to get hold of, so sadly I don't think it will happen. =(
Also note, that unlike me, he is very un-trollish, so you might even enjoy the debate. =)
