It's not their fault alone. There are actual people in power -- the closest thing you can get to an actual moustache twirling villain -- actively working to build that world. Additionally, their goals align very well with capitalism's incentive structures.

I guess none of the other developed countries must be capitalist, because they seem not to not be influenced by capitalism’s incentive structures.

They have been of course, but have done a much better job of managing it.

Unmanaged, capitalism will spin out of control. A slow and shitty paperclip maximiser.

Definitely, we need more regulation in the market or it’s only going to get worse.
