The problem is not that a bunch of corporate CEOs sit around thinking about ways to hurt people or planet, because they don’t; the problem is that they don’t think it’s their job to have to think about it one way or the other. That’s how an amoral system produces immoral results.

Capitalism has done a lot of good, you’re right. But only when its overreach was held in check by labor unions, financial regulations, anti-trust laws & fair taxation. When that blew up in the 1980’s (plus $ in politics) it started becoming an unfettered terror. And here we are.

There’s some truth there. Compare the corporate tax rate under Eisenhower (90%) to what it is today (22%)
