But I do feel that Capitalism works when its not corrupted and not monopolized but unfortunately the US in particular has let too much corruption and monopolized markets to happen.
Capitalism is the best ‘system’ we have, but that’s the problem you can’t focus on the system, you focus on the people! If the system stops serving the people and instead is corrupt favouring the lazy, privileged or powerful then it needs to be tweaked or cleaned up IMHO.
Yes, there was unfairness during the pandemic but that was due to a wave of socialism and anti-market propping up of companies and workers because like the credit crunch before it we perceive these ‘systems’ as too important to fail, even if they are obsolete in the modern market. E.g. High Street Retail will never recover with current corporate lease rates etc but we carry on like it’s sustainable because the land owners demand their pound of flesh like always!
