The Jungle is famously about horrifying working conditions back in the day and was critical for gaining public support for legislation and regulations. "Capitalism" didn't improve the working conditions; regulations did.

Under communism, people starve.

For a time, Kansas was the "Breadbasket of the Soviet Union".

It’s called human behavior, and it has existed before any form of civilization and will exist long after it.
