Understanding this quote
The quote says that capitalists are drawn to opportunities where they can make a profit. It also separates that economic goal from criminality: seeking profit, by itself, is not a crime. The statement does not claim that every action taken for profit is lawful, only that the desire for profit alone should not be treated as criminal.
