That's not the capitalist, it's the money. Even if you make better stuff today, it won't sell - you are in a downward spiral created by fiat. Read all of @Saifedean Ammous books and it will make sense. It's a deep read by "Principles of Economics" does a medium dive into this - not deep - but also not the first book on history of money someone should read. Your perspective is a HUGE problem - because the solution is truly Capitalism with good/services - AND with money (private fixed real money, not fiat). Study #Bitcoin - study hard - it's a once in a 1000 year opportunity. In a decade Bitcoin will grow with the productivity of humanity. First it has to eat all the misdirected capital (which is what you are frustrated with). And the growth is a 100X in a decade or two (sorta depends on how bad we mismanage the world fiat system).
