    If they can’t hoard money and increase their monetary value infinitely, then their business will stop having any reasons to exist in the first place.

    Also, many industries are only efficient at scale, and so putting any limit to that is going to hurt the economy (and hence, you) big time.

    Capitalism, in any form, has this fundamental trouble where it either rips you, or has no reason to exist. Taxing the hell out of the rich is a step in the right direction, but ultimately even that is not sustainable. We need socialism, as in society/state owning means of production.

      We don’t need most of what is being produced today.

      Most of those should die.

      For every useful thing there are mountains of plastic useless waste produced, sold, and thrown away just to keep the economy turning. Including many clothes.
