Mormon Red Death is an unknown quantity at this point

I just had a thought. What if the way we generally look at the law of consecration is wrong? Generally you see the implementation of the law to be "The United Order". This is assumed to be the implementation used with the Nephites, and people of Enoch (or one like it). What if there implementation was totally different. For example, what if there implementation was complete unfettered capitalism? Where the work and ideas of a man is the distributor of wealth not a goverment or a church org. The tenets of capitalism are such that it rewards people who work the hard. Doesn't a perfect system from God seem to be one in which people are rewarded for the work they produce? Couldn't consecrating all your might mind and strength to the building of kingdom mean do your best to produce and sell a product on how the market dictates? I guess I could go on for days about the virtues of capitalism. But one thing is for sure its the fairest system out there.
