I'm not even sure what a government would look like in order to allow capitalism to function without corruption and exploitation. The regulations needed would be so overbearing that the markers surely would not thrive. Our entire society is based around the idea of abusing what is essentially slave labor to live far beyond our means. Without massive corruption, the US would just be another unremarkable country struggling to stay afloat.

The market isn't thriving right now either for the majority of people.

Maybe we should try being overbearing once, because giving businesses free reign certainly hasn't helped.
