The Honest Whore

Is Candido, the patient draper, a proto-capitalist (content to sell his wares any way they get sold and save a buck by wearing a tablecloth instead of paying a fine, all of which he does without reference to his own dignity)? Or is he a proto-hippie (content to see his neighbors as basically good and life as easier without all that strife)? Something else entirely? Does the play ultimately support or undermine him?
