Capitalism comes with collateral, or intended – might be a mix of both – damage. This, I think makes any discussion about fairness, a real bit of a face slap to intelligence.
Check how corporate profiteering relies on the rest of society to support it.
Or how clearly doing stuff in the public domain – like rail ways – provides profits for the few while skewing and rearranging economic landscape for the many.
These, I think, are embedded in capitalism.. Part and parcel of it. No?
