@aral Yes, but no. It should be possible to organise capitalism so people are rewarded for having and risking capital, without punishing those who don't have it, we just didn't choose to do that because our electoral systems are 'winner takes all" too.
@woo How’d they get the capital? Why do some people have it and others don’t? Let’s look back at history a bit. Hmm, doesn’t look good, does it?
@aral How they got it in the past doesn't have to be relevant if the broken system is replaced. I don't think it will be because it will be a huge struggle to get a majority to believe their children should not inherit the 'fruits of their labour', however meagre it may be.
