That capitalism is good. There is no economic system more efficient at progress
It’s government that’s the failure. It’s Governments responsibility to shape the markets so capitalism benefits society and they have failed miserably
I also think that well-regulated capitalism with social programs is the way to go. It's so fucked that the US ruled on shit like Citizens United and moved away from that.
There is no system under capitalism where money doesn't change the rules to help money. Even in well regulated systems the advantage always goes to the wealthy, and they use it to cheat as well.
How do you mean there is no system? What's your basis?
history, game theory and psychology.
A system that rewards you with a thing that can break the system results in a broken system as the most competitive will be the most unscrupulous
It doesn't matter where you start the regulation, the ability to leverage wealth against greed for corporate capture guarantees that corruption will always favor the most unethical actors.
