Captialism doesn’t exist outside of the law. Yes, rules are easy to break, so to are fines easy to pay when they are mere slaps on the wrist to corporate giants, and yes sociopaths are rewarded. But that does not make sociopaths the logical outcome. Otherwise, all people supporting capitalism would be the same.
I say, excess creates the conditions for making amoral behaviour normal. Take away the excess, put a cap on how much one company can take home as profit, reward merits and hard work, but don’t let wealth be hoarded to absurd levels, like NVIDIA becoming the worlds first $5 Trillion company.
I’ll admit I’m pretty stupid, this is just my belief. I used to think capitalism was the problem, but really, humans are fallible, prone to vices, and maybe not able organize grand social order, imo.
all billionares are a policy failure. 60% of billionaire wealth comes from inheritance, monopolies, and cronyism.
They are not superheroes, benevolent gods that are here to help humanity, save that shit for the movies.
The only people I can forgive for becoming billionaires are people who inherit or win a big lottery prize.
But in both cases, if they remain billionaires, they’re immoral and have no place in society.
Nah, this is the natural, logical outcome of capitalism – a profit based society will always reward sociopaths.

It does seem every system ever devised eventually breaks down with similar end results. Your statement holds true thus far.
