 there are few free markets and they all exist outside of influence/regulation. our global markets are not reflective of capitlism, imo.

 Coincidentally, that machine is apex economic system for sustainable wealth creation because it provides the greatest incentive structure. 

The reality of compounding interest means that wealth will either exist and concentrate, or not exist at all. 


Competing systems have the same wealth concentration, just amongst fewer people and it’s distributed by loyalty to the ruling party rather than economic productivity.
