The problem is greed and pride. And it exists in every socioeconomic stratum.
Right on.
Amid this Ferguson incident I've been making this point.
What is causing the top to get away with whatever it wants, what is causing the bottom to be so disconnected from the rest of society. Why isn't this system working? My conclusion - capitalism and everything that goes with it has failed.

Capitalism failed? With societies mindset, it is the only thing keeping the peace. Is it the best thing possible? That's for another discussion not for the faint of heart.

No system of economics will operate benevolently if the people in the system aren't benevolent.
IOW, it's not capitalism that has failed, IMO. It is humanity that has failed. Socialism which isn't rooted in empathy and justice will fail just the same as capitalism which isn't rooted in empathy and justice.
