Capitalism isn't 'broken'. It's working all too well - and we're the worse for it | Maria Svart

Runaway climate change, war, mass migration, widespread poverty and ever-increasing authoritarianism are the inevitable results of an economic system that rewards corporate actors for their absolute commitment to profit, regardless of the broader consequences.

Exploitation is not a bug in capitalism, it is a feature
