Capitalism, through its superior ability to allocate capital efficiently to maximize the total productivity, will give societies that exploit this capability a major advantage, and this is likely remain a dominant economic institution amongst the most influential powers in the world until such times as when that capability is equaled or surpassed by other system. That time is not visible as of yet even on the furthest hoirizon.

As with evolution, things don’t exist and perpetuate because they are necessary. They exist and perpetuate because they confer subtle or obvious advantages to those who have them such that those who advocate for them can leverage those advantages directly or indirectly to overpower those who advocates against them.

That is how our society could be, how it should be.

Except such a society will likely be overwhelmed by another that provides more visceral inventive facilitated by money, so it would die out.
