It is. Unrestricted Capitalism inevitably leads to an endless boom-bust cycle, creating regular periods of boundless misery. It depletes our resources and poisons and destroys the environment with ever growing speed, concentrates political and economic power in the hands of small economic elite, and forces all others into bondage and poverty. That is why every prospering nation on the planet, even the most officially vocal capitalist ones, have systems of laws, regulations, workers’ rights, social safety nets and public research and investments in place to keep capitalism in check, though those are under constant attack and derison by right wing demagogues and corrupt lawmakers that are bought by the industry.
