> accounting for human nature
A different take: Capitalism reinforces the most base part of human nature and sabotages our ability as a species to transcend that nature.
Our biology evolved to make culture possible, and as culture evolves we have the possibility of transcending that base nature. Or we can choose a culture that doubles down on "selfishness as a virtue".
The whole point of culture is to enable us to evolve beyond our original core / bootstrap programming.
