In capitalism, rewards are proportional to how much capital you have (either your own or borrowed), your efforts are minimally material.

But capital alone is no indicator of ownership interest grants (see: advisors or key employees who are granted equity for their contributions [1]).

Rewards in capitalism are to those who can convince others of value provided in exchange for an equity interest; capital is only a small part of that. Lots of equity is sweat equity!
