In Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz’s 997 page principles of economics texts, the word “capitalism” appears exactly zero times.
That’s a fun fact?
According to the index of Mankiw’s, “principles of economics 4th ed” it appears 0 times as well.

That’s what it takes to become the best selling economics textbook. This weird observation merely reflects the mathematization of economics, and the attempt in the mainstream literature to remain uncontroversial. I find it sad.
