No, the Second Law does not. That's because money is not heat, it is a method of keeping score.
Capitalism accords with what human beings naturally do in exchanges and deal-making, absent -- and this is crucial -- governmental interference in transactions. To eliminate capitalism, you must first eliminate human beings.
The Socialists, Communist and Fascist together, took a fair poke at that, and racked up 120M peacetime deaths. Not something remotely necessary from a capitalistic viewpoint -- or any other genuinely good or human viewpoint. Inherently necessary, in Socialism.
I grasp this. Brianna, had you the same understanding, you would not have written that shameful, Godawful post.
