Enforce the regulations by dealing with the ‘unrestrained’ bit. These scams aren’t present in all countries, copy their practices.

  This isn't a problem with capitalism, all you would need would be a right-of-contract combined with a "you agree not to poison me" clause (I say this facetiously, nobody should have to specify that). Still, many of what people call problems with capitalism are really problems with anarchy.

    Generally, I would agree but try suing someone over breach of contract in Nepal and India(Nepal is worse than India in this regard), they will laugh at you. The judiciary system is totally messed up to an extent that it has cost people their lively hood, here are few recent examples from India to give you a glimpse of how terrible it might be in Nepal: 1. Guy gets falsely accused of harassment, faces social media justice and the complainant hasn't shown up in court for 3 years even a single time, the case is stuck since court keeps assigning a new date for hearing waiting for the complainant to show up: https://theprint.in/governance/this-delhi-man-was-called-a-pervert-in-viral-post-3-years-ago-and-hes-still-stuck-there/113879/ https://theprint.in/governance/this-delhi-man-was-called-a-p... 2. A kid is killed by a fellow student and Police pins murder on the bus conductor by torturing him and making him confess to the murder: https://www.thequint.com/news/india/gurugram-school-murder-driver-ashok-kumar-life https://www.thequint.com/news/india/gurugram-school-murder-d...

      That sounds like a problem with anarchy to me. Capitalism has nothing to do with it, the government is failing to maintain lawful order.

        Exactly, these countries haven't seen capitalism yet. I misread your previous comment thinking you were suggesting a contract would work, sorry.

      I assume autocorrect, though it could be a new term: Loss of ‘lively hood’ - the step before gentrification.

By regulating payements and preventing "reimbursement" of people risking others lives from insurance companies coverage of hospitals and helicopters? At least it sounds like what the government of Nepal is doing against "unrestrained capitalism". Also, paying a decent stable wage/pension to the sherpas would deter this sort of behavior and encourage self-policing as the majortity wouldn't want to risk their long term pay for a short term boost. That's usually how we incentivize against corruption. Now, you could also argue that the "cost plus" accounting of insurance incentivizes them to support ever higher "quality" and prices for themselves and their peers, but that's typically a longer term problem.
