    Smith can talk all he wants, that doesn’t make his analysis correct.

        And we know now that his analysis on the outcome of capitalism is incorrect. Capitalism exists for the private property holders to extract as much wealth and power as possible from their privileged position. That unrelenting pursuit of profit has led to even worse inequality, and is collapsing entire ecosystems. It’s a disaster of an economic system full of contradictions. Those contradictions are now causing capitalism to collapse in on itself.

          So you realize that the problems with capitalism are what it set out to prevent

          That doesn’t make the core of capitalism the opposite

          That means it’s not true capitalism

          The problem is greed that will exist in any system because people with power will degrade/morph any system to be self serving
