You're talking about unregulated capitalism...
Give me a historical example of properly functioning, regulated capitalism
You can't, because they're all operated and used by humans. While there may be a logical framework and rules to make a system like capitalism work, it's the fact that not all humans will respect or follow the rules. Eventually any fairness or equality the rules are supposed to ensure will be worked around by humans that choose not to play fair. Watching the response Mamdami received from the Dems is a perfect example of why our system is broken. He's got the popular vote of the party, yet they are doing everything in their power to stop him. That's merely a single recent example though, shit has been broken since the get-go
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, the other animals have stable systems of rules that have worked fine for millenia. We just gotta find a new social order that scales better than tribes.
