As the saying goes: capitalism, shareholder value and such things seem as inevitable today as the divine right of kings once did…

—Ursula K. Le Guin
Eat the rich…No thanks, I don’t like the taste. There is things like acid baths…

Reminds me of Utopia by Ahmed Khaled Towfi
A grim futuristic account of Egyptian society in the year 2023, “Utopia” takes readers on a chilling journey beyond the gated communities of the North Coast where the wealthy are insulated from the bleakness of life outside the walls. When a young man and a girl break out from this bubble of affluence in order to see for themselves the lives of their impoverished fellow Egyptians they are confronted by a world that they had not imagined possible. Breathtaking and suspenseful, “Utopia’s” twists and turns will keep readers guessing until the very last page, and may leave some wondering whether this is a vision of the future that is not too far away.

Given our biological programming and scarcity of resources there isn’t an economic system that can “be fair and equal” at any scale beyond hunter gatherer tribes.
Humans are very bad at distinguishing between the effects of human biology and human culture.
And your second claim is extremely broad and without evidence.
First paragraph: That’s what I came here to say!
Second paragraph: Oooof!
