    Exactly, and I’d argue this is precisely what makes capitalism inherently unstable. It creates inequality by design, and that directly translates into corruption. Mass inequality is fundamentally incompatible with having a stable system of governance. Amusingly, it can also be argued that capitalism discourages material analysis because large capitalists tend to be removed from things like engineering, or factory production, and the whole system evolves towards financialization over time. So, the critical understanding of how the material world actually works is largely absent within the decision making class.
