    It’s not a policy failure at all. It’s a systemic feature. Capitalism is dog eat dog until only one dog remains. If you want to fix it you need a new economic system.

      If you want to fix it you need a new economic system.

      We could try actually free markets with no benefits to anyone. By benefits here I mean tax breaks, government contracts and subsidies for companies.

      I think capitalism can work depending on two things

      1. The state must discipline and tax the capitalists constantly.

      2. There is a competing system that capitalism has to outperform.

        No, what actually ends up happening is the capitalists constantly pressure and influence the state to not tax them and not discipline them. It’s hard for the state to say “no” to that kind of money.
