111. Yet, there appear to be many countries that somehow successfully regulate their particular capitalist system

I suspect it's lack of civic involvement and navel gazing on the part of Americans that allows things to slip out of control.

People can't understand non-linear systems. They can't wrap their minds around climate change, partly because they believe "god" wouldn't allow that to happen. I don't think the problem is capitalism FR, it's a critical mass of some of the most privileged brain-washed dumb asses a western society has ever seen.
