For a system that's supposed to "soak the rich," the rich sure do love them some socialism. No wonder the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and Venezuela - among others - have had such massive inequality. Socialism is great for the elites and well-connected and terrible for the average person.

Those are crony-socialist countries.

The rich just shouldn't be able to hold onto billions of dollars and have it stagnate.
It should be illegal to accrue massive amounts of wealth and not do anything with it.
NEGATIVE INTEREST RATES !

Capitalism is working fine, if you're working for them in the upper echelon. Not so fine if you actually produce things.

For the uninformed, they are questioning the fundamentals in the markets (commodity prices, demand, etc..) and then the writer and op (probably a detached from reality sanders sjw fanboy) boiled it down into a headline that makes it appear as if Goldman Sachs is questioning capitalism, which it isn't.

They are just now discovering the immense wastefulness and irrationality of the Capitalist free-market. Took them long enough.

How would they know? They've never experienced capitalism, just cronyism and socialism.

Cronyism is the natural outcome of capitalism, as intended.

No, cronyism is the natural outcome of government. All economies have poor and rich [who are cronies with gov't officials]. Show me a single nation where the gov't elite don't live in palaces.
