I think it would be good to discuss some of the deeper aspects of capitalism now and then. There are potential issues with it that are worth exploring.
Some get really rich, some get really poor, this is not "because of" capitalism, it seems to happen in all kinds of systems naturally. Some have better setups than others, and they get
a little, or far better results. Over time this leads to a pareto distribution of wealth, which seems very unfair, and also seems rather dangerous, since those on the top have a lot
of power, and all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, so basically they are doomed to oppress the masses even if they start out as good people.
Now, as I said, this is not "because of" capitalism, it is what happens in all systems. Communism for example seems to battle it, on the surface, but then the reality is that it does
not really handle it at all. To battle the really powerful, you need to be equally powerful, and those who are equally powerful are then in turn also getting corrupted by power.
So avoiding pareto distribution is really an unsolved problem. Decentralization might help, but I am not sure it really does that much, since some will fight you and centralize.
