People love to blame "capitalism" because they've never learned about "regulatory capture".

There's a missing perspective on the global governance bodies, that everything is born, matures, ossifies, is outcompeted, and dies.

Alligators and cockroaches perhaps the exception, but are those models for a life well lived?




To be fair, people blame "socialism", and "communism" for similar reasons.


To be fair (to be faairrrrr), Communism's embedded contradictions flamed it out significantly faster than capitalisms has.


To be fair, (to be faaaaiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrr) that's besides the point, and every successful capitalist nation routinely contradicts free-market principles anyway.
