    This attempt to make equivalent different systems that reward achievements doesn’t hold water when you think about the real world outcomes of different examples. E.g. rewards for research in the scientific community vs rewarding profit maximization in corporate America. There’s a vast trough of dead and sick people separating the two, among other differences.

    Capitalism successfully captures regulation (and democracy). The only mechanism that I’m aware of which has shown evidence to resist that is labor organization. But clearly that can be restrained too after a while.
