If capitalism wasn’t so myopic and capable of thinking long term
I think the two are inseparable? i.e. short-sightedness is an emergent property of a society where individuals are motivated by capitalism.
Neoliberalism is an attempt to control the emergent properties of capitalism without changing individual’s underlying motivators, and we see that it fails to do so.
The properties of a society emerge from the incentives, motivators, and beliefs that individuals in that society hold.
Changing motivators at the individual level is how a society can start thinking long term, and I don’t think there’s a way keep the extractive greed that capitalism promotes AND have a society that is run for the benefit of all people in the long term.
