Actually, philosophically speaking, most of the historical
sources of capitalism are really founded on Enlightenment notions
of the inherently free nature of reason (and its universality as
a human attribute).  Traditional capitalism, when it also
expresses basic human rights, always was about the intrinsic
freedom of information as such.
