Haha, that’s a lot of examples. Maybe I can choose one?

Planned obsolescence - assuming that’s where the device is made to break after x time - doesn’t punish anyone. You’re just buying a time bomb. If they don’t tell you about it (as has been the case recently), that’s antisocial behavior, and capitalist systems correct that naturally with no added structures as consumers get angry and choose alternatives.

You are assuming healthy competition.

True, which I think is a safe assumption on a long enough timescale where people are free. No?

Unregulated Capitalism inevitably leads to a situation where a couple of bad apples corrupt the entire system. Point me to proof disproving my assumption here.

Haha I’m game to try. What’s our definition of “corrupt the entire system” and what time horizon should we be thinking on?
