I have just come across this posting from Classical Values. It divides the world into two types of morality systems: Commercial (makers) and Guardian (takers). I think I will try to present a variation of this classification to one of my classes. But, I have to admit that the classification I see in the posting is biased towards the right wing/libertarian viewpoint. (and I am a right-winger) For example to label the makers as optimists and the pessimists as takers makes the whole classification tautological. I think it would be more fair to label the takers as utopianists.
