No NBA player may score more than 100 points per season. After reaching this cap they may only pass the ball.
> If you block the game of capitalism you stunt all of the growth and innovation that comes with it. It’s how people tick.
Where's the evidence for that? People help each other much more than they hurt each other, despite the common perception. What kind of sucker helps his adversaries?
Because a few people with power want to exploit everyone else, we somehow assume that everyone is like that. It's simply not true.
When we keep reinforcing these "winner takes all" scenarios we're playing into the hands of those few that truly believe that's how the world works. People cooperate and we only got here in the first place was through cooperation. If this capitalism mentality existed back then, our species would have simply died. Now we survived, thrived and forgot that our real strength is in communities, not individuals.
The individualist capitalism mentality got people with hook, line and sinker. Most can't even comprehend that there are different ways.
All the other things we've tried.

Is just as true within capitalism as communism, for example. Likewise feudalism, theocracy, anarchy.
> People cooperate and we only got here in the first place was through cooperation.
Yes.

No.
Why did I split these two up like this? Because capitalism only functions through cooperation (hence the etymology of "corporations"); and because "winner-takes-all" was the dominant behaviour that our species has displayed as far back as archeology shows, with our God-kings, slavery, and evidence of mass brutality before the invention of writing.
