Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
You act like capitalism is something that was invented. Market economies have existed since the dawn of time.
Think of it more like a spectrum where free market and unregulated capitalism is on one end and economies under total state control are at the other.
There is clear evidence that one side of that spectrum favors innovation more than the other.
I guess you could argue that one end of the spectrum is more “moral” than the other, but I would counter that the opposite end is amoral rather than immoral.

You mean capitalism is inherent in the matrix of the space-time continuum as opposed to invented?
-
Market economies have not all been capitalistic.
-
Innovation is not the singular motivation of mankind. Survival, comfort, stability, peace, equality are more important.
-
An amoral society is no better than an immoral society.
