Capitalism is not failing.
What we are seeing is Capitalism succeeding.

The previous poster may be implying that capitalism may be sold to the general public as a means for everyone to be able to achieve (financial) equality (or better) through hard work, yet is actually a means designed to consolidate power. It seems like a decent theory since the less restrictions are placed on the market the more it favors unlimited power and resource colsolidation. /imho
