Left to its own devices and somewhat bizarrely, capitalism evolves strategies that include "social stability". Long-term prosperity becomes a part of the equation, with despotic wealth gaps an obstacle to that. Nobody likes their head inside a guillotine! Or a world where their children couldn't live. In other words, no central committees are needed when the actors align voluntarily. "Bread and games", it was called in Rome. It would take some fairly corrupt governments and very stupid businessmen to forget these lessons.
