Where do you think crime, corruption, regulatory capture, and cronyism came from? Capitalism concentrates wealth until even the government is for sale. When a company has saturated the market, the only way left to grow is via rent seeking. It's called Late Stage Capitalism for a reason.

Men you idiot. It all came from men.
To date there has never been a better system than capitalism. No better system is currently known to mankind.

So you're saying we just need more neoliberalism? If we abolish the 40 hour workweek, make unions illegal, and abolish child labor laws, and defund all schools, then the world will turn into a capitalist paradise? You're delusional.
