American culture tends to treat it as a feature and not a bug--indeed, most capitalist societies do this.

It is interesting to note how attitudes towards "business" changed between 1300 and the present. Usury used to be a sin, for example.

There were obvious problems with the previous attitudes, but we seem to have gone overboard in the other direction. No moderate middle approach (in practice).
