There’s much to be dismayed by in the modern world. But — and sorry to sound like such a cliche here — what alternative would you suggest to capitalism?
Why is the choice always "capitalism" or "not capitalism"?
It seems to me that the real problem with it all is the false dichotomy that so many people seem to have bought into. It wasn't too long ago that we understood that we need to balance out both sides for a society to flourish. Capitalism is useful, yes, but unfettered capitalism slowly eats itself and everything adjacent to it.
Ironically, you’re the one assuming it’s a dichotomy. I never said anything about ‘unfettered capitalism’.

Any set A induces a partition of the universe into A and not A. You haven’t made any suggestions at all. Just the usual moaning — which is justified, but not at all helpful.
You still haven't suggested anything of any substance. Just 'capitalism eats itself' which I think might not be an original observation. Sorry if I came across as rude.
