Don't mean to ride you on this point, but proper terms are very important. You can call it corporatism if you think fascism conjures up a black-and-white image of Il Duce, but calling it capitalism sets us back in terms of actually understanding the causes of our current crises, and hampers the already Sisyphean task of teaching people what capitalism actually means: a politico-economic system of laissez-faire and the protection of individual rights. So, this is not a product of "late-capitalism income inequality"; it is a product of central banking in the U.S. and around the world, and their artificial tinkering with interest rates/the money supply for political expediency.
