    No. In fact, such a person is the antipathy of a philosopher/philosophy.

    Ferengi 'capitalism' is a stretch. Your Grand Negus is more like a Russian Oligarch. But...I guess it's still some sort of capitalist dynamic. But...we all 'get' Quark, I think.
    Eh! What else can I say???

    Yes, but of what philosophical stripe?

    If Capitalism is all that matters to you, that would be an Economist...

    I don't know about that. Many economists today are more or less of the Marxist stripe. I always find it interesting that so few people know what capitalism is.

    It seems to me, on the face of it, one is totally driven by greed, a single desire for money and more money. A philosopher, person of a philosophical outlook, will consider every connotation.
