Abstract: We identify eight systemic necessities in the capitalist market economy and show their normative ambivalence. To the extent that systemic necessities can be justified to everyone living with them, they represent both the inertia of capitalism and good reasons for capitalism. However, to the extent that such constraints constitute pathologies similar to compulsive disorders, they provide compelling reasons for redesigning capitalism. Among the systemic necessities at least one is of a malign kind.
