    Regulated capitalism. Communism.

    People always will corrupt them both because people are imperfect and mostly naive or corruptible.

      This is why I’m an advocate of stateless market socialism via cooperatives. Theyre tried and true, and who doesn’t want their workplaces democratically controlled? Multi stakeholder models don’t have to mess with your retirement or university endowments. I believe it is the requisite to dismantling capitalism.

      Which is basically what Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels said in The Communist Manifesto. Until there’s unlimited resources Communism isn’t viable because of greed.

      But you’re right late stage capitalism isn’t any better, just no official book.
