Prosperity transfers upwards to the elites within a human society. It is not about capitalism. A large share of those transfers are due to state protections, which are antithetical to capitalism.
The only concept of fairness that is consistent with a free society, is that people get what is voluntarily given to them by others or what they produce themselves. The margin to work on, then, is persuading people to freely help those who need it.
I'm not sure what to make of the Zoomers, yet. Their trends are all over the map. I'm hopeful that they will at least be the generation that learns some important lessons and passes those on.
If I told you that you managed to get me to shut my laptop and say... "No more" yesterday! My brain was that fuzzy from using it that by the time you commented I didn't have any working cells left to compose an answer!
And now as I am looking at your reply... I got buuuuuurned! I know when to admit a mistake and putting capitalism into the same category as "state protections" was, well, a bit silly on my part 😂

It's an understandable error. This system is a perverted form of capitalism and it is incredibly efficient at making that upward wealth transfer.
