"TED’s ‘revolutionary ideas’ mask capitalism as usual, giving it a narrative of progress and change.” I feel like I am out of the loop on something here. Is this person insinuating that capitalism is a sort of masked evil that's propped up as a good thing in our blind western/democratic society? If so what is the recommended alternative?

This was a genuine question. If someone feels the need to downvote I would really appreciate their point of view.
