I think that most people in this thread are sort of thinking about crime in the terms that are most beneficial for the ruling class. Capitalism has assisted with a lot of good things (innovation), but it has also created an entirely new class of criminal: the corporate kind. To paraphrase the quote, robbing one person with a gun gets you labeled "criminal," and robbing thousands of people with a fountain pen gets you labeled "dishonest." And let's not forget about people like commodities speculators, who cause starvation in other countries, and, yet, are not even considered criminals since what they are doing is legal.
"Crime" is a term that is very polluted by propoganda/public relations, and I'm not even sure how constructive it is to talk about societies in terms of "crime."
