HiFrom my tweets to Ray:

I also believe that capitalism might be a fundamentally sound system. But we don't have capitalism and that's why what we have is not working well for the majority of people.

True capitalism means markets freed of all regulations except fraud, etc. We don't have that and likely never will.

Your treatise misses a key point of political corruption underpining corporatism / "crony capitalism". The simple fix: private criminal prosecutions at the federal and state level.

Imagine if private prosecutors were let loose on Washington's political underbelly.

Your treatise also misses a second factor: In politics, money is access. The wealthiest individuals and corporations clearly have much more access than the bottom 80+%. They, especially the corps., also (via their lobbyists) craft much of the legislation to their benefit.

I think it would be highly beneficial to society if this disparity were addressed. My solution: limit individuals and corporations to "single representation". That is only individuals or the CEO of the corporation could call on or lobby a representative (no hired guns).
