Capitalism is a word, at best a euphemism for moral relativism, and clinging to it is succumbing to sunk cost fallacy.

It prescribes billions must kowtow to a minority who are average people granted political and education advantage.

Human ingenuity and engineering existed for hundreds of thousands of years before capitalism.
