Well, that's what was confusing to me. He makes a distinction between the "Selfish Capitalism" in America and the UK versus the systems in German, France, Italy, etc. To me they all have essentially a capitalist economic system, so he must have some other kind of factor that makes it "Selfish Capitalism" by his definition. Apparantely not all capitalism is "Selfish Capitalism," and I didn't get far enough into it to find out the difference.
