I don't understand what you are trying to say. Negative interest rates combined with low inflation are literally the holy grail of capitalism. All investments that can be done at 0% interest have been done.

Honestly, I'm tired of "boomer capitalism" i.e. capitalism that thinks exponential growth that followed a devastating war should be permanent for all eternity. Essentially demanding that we have periodic wars according to the broken window fallacy.

Where is the "maximalist" capitalism that lets humanity reach its full potential instead of insisting on profit expectations that are divorced from reality?

I don't know what you mean by protecting "their wealth" because money is a promise to work. You cannot protect such a thing by using it to purchase a commodity because there is no promise that the commodity will be worth anything. Sure, the speculation is sort of reliable but it is still speculation.
