I don't see capitalism as adharmic. There is nothing inherently wrong with providing goods or services for money.Is capitalism away from the natural order of things, and another false part of reality, that blinds us from working for the greater good?

Yet what if you're knowingly ripping people off, to make the most profit available?There is nothing inherently wrong with providing goods or services for money.

Heaven.What works for the greater good?
Unnatural to the way life is; plus it does create those things.So does anyone feel capitalism is immoral, sinful, wrong, wicked, unjust, unbalanced, or
unnatural?

Buying something at an extremely low value, and selling it for loads more than it is worth....Explain "knowingly ripping people off".

Alienation of the worker and extracting surplus profit.
The workers do the labor, the people who own the factory make the profits.

If capitalism is natural why did it only become the majority economic system over the last few hundred years?
Because it works.
I would argue that capitalism is inherently wrong because it allows others to profit off of other people's labour against their will.
Immoral? No. Amoral.
Sinful? I don't believe in "sin" thus this has no meaning to me.
Wrong? In and of itself, no.
Wicked? No. Ideas are not "wicked"; people are, or ideas in the wrong people's minds (including religious ideas) can be "wicked".
Unjust? Anything taken to extremes is "unjust". Every other economic policy can be "unjust" just as easily.
Unbalanced? Anything can be"unbalanced"; including spirituality.
Unnatural? No. We are territorial by nature; thus, it is natural for us to establish territory and ownership. We are also, by nature, "pack" or "herd" creatures; thus, "us vs them" is a natural state for us. Notice, however, that just because something is "natural", I am not stating that such is "right", "correct" or "moral". Simply, and only, that it is "natural".
Just my opinions ...
