Generally agreed. Unregulated Capitalism is the real issue here, we used to have, like… within the lifetime of people we know, very regulated capitalism and a market that really worked for us, the average person was rapidly getting richer and we had real quality of life. That said, a part of me admittedly thinks this may be inevitable though, because once capitalism is unregulated briefly, all hell breaks loose. Once any company has a monopoly and true market dominance, the only way to continue making line go up is to change the rules of the game by lobbying, and once money enters your government and corrupts its ability to regulate, the train never stops. I suspect it keeps getting worse until things go violently wrong and the system resets. But even then, I think we as a society forget, and “try” deregulating capitalism again in a few hundred years, kicking off another cycle that ends in revolution.
