That system, of course, is capitalism. Now, I use “capitalism” in the European sense. My favorite baker in Paris, who makes these delicious pistachio buns, isn’t a capitalist — he’s just…a baker, an old French dude who takes great pride in his art. Capitalism? That’s Wall St, Bezos, the Waltons, Silicon Valley, etc. In the American sense, you might call it “corporatism”, if you like.
