> How could one change "rules of capitalism"? Capitalism is an idea, if anything's changed it was the system, so the system might have adopted some other ideas - that would be a change.

I thought it was clear I meant the system has changed by using "the rules of capitalism" as a literary device. I don't know if it really was unclear but that's exactly what I meant...

You forgot to mention how rules changed - if you are right that is the only way to undo what happened. Instead, you argue "it changed for the worse, let's change it even more in some random direction" - this completely illogical, it looks like you don't what you are doing, but you (of course) play big intellectual and pretend it is OK to ignore facts.
