You don't get to be a trillion dollar company without being despicable.

@3nertia No, capitalism is a perfectly viable - perhaps even necessary form of exchange. Offering a product or service in return for financial recompense. The difference between that and toxic capitalism, is when corporations or greed become involved, then it changes from fair exchange to exploitation.

@darthvader6533 I definitely agree that the problem arises when the system turns corrupt. In fact, the system shown to bring about the great happiness is a benevolent dictatorship, but of course, that has its own flaws built into its very fabric, and I wouldn't want to live like that. So, is regulated capitalism the best system? Who does the regulating? How much or how little regulation? The problem always arises when the regulators can be affected by the wealth of the capitalists. But I think you're right - regulated capitalism is a semi-decent system. The pressures of market reward and need drive innovation. The only problem is, valuable things that lack sufficient pressure do not always get done - cures for rare diseases, exploration of space, eco-friendly industry, etc.
