For capitalism to work and not lead us where we currently are, with a handful of extremely rich people trying to take over the globe, we need a level of awareness in people which we are quite far from still, I'm afraid.
I suspect that when we do get to that level of awareness, the social order will become largely irrelevant?
Capitalism & free markets don't allow for monopolies on power. These global power hungry people always existed, but their dreams couldn't have been realised without money that they controlled. Fiat currencies have enabled this.
The problem isn't the rich, the problem is the central planning of human action. Hard money upsets this imbalance of power. It levels the playing field so that we are operating under the same rules.
I hope that this leads to a shift in consciousness & our manifested reality. It will certainly allow for pockets of humans to shift.
How does capitalism & free market prevent monopolies? What may prevent them is human awareness, given freedom from state manipulation. Without such awareness, whoever has money will find it easier to make more money,exponentially even without help from the state.
