      Capitalism worsens the principal agent problem of representative democracy because it’s trivial to bribe representatives, especially now.

      Ah yes the world richest man and a billionaire president have no financial motives for overthrowing the US gov. Definitely not the fault of the greedy capitalist system

      The richest people being the oligarchs has nothing to do with capitalism?
