The Price of Unbridled Capitalism

For the sake of this article, I had bought this pack of 4 traditional moon cake for RM9.  I bought it at a roadside stall operated by a woman at the location next to Wangsa Maju LRT for at least the last 10 years.  While I paid for the moon cake with a piece of RM10 note, my mind was distracted, thinking how I should write begin this article on capitalism and human greed.  The trader took note of my distraction, and did not return my change, claiming she had returned it to me.
