[collapse]

 

Nick Hanauer is saying that greed and being excessively rapacious (eager to acquire wealth or possessions by aggressive or dishonest means) does not make someone a true capitalist.

True capitalism involves operating businesses and acquiring wealth through legitimate means that create value for customers and society. However, being overly rapacious and caring only about acquiring wealth for oneself in harmful or dishonest ways is a sign of sociopathy, which is an antisocial personality disorder involving lack of empathy and remorse.

In this quote, Hanauer is arguing that true capitalism should not promote or celebrate excessive greed and rapacious behavior that harms others or society.
