But the question is, <i>why</i> did those few get to own so much of the capital?<p>If the thing we had was already capitalism, then doesn&#x27;t the very fact that they have so much capital prove that they are the best at making the smartest (read: best return) investments?<p>And if not, then doesn&#x27;t that mean the problem was that we <i>already</i> didn&#x27;t have capitalism, and fixing inequality by itself is a fool&#x27;s errand, since we should really be fixing the distortion that lead to the outcome of the bad investors owning the wealth?
