There are numerous examples of where capitalistic businesses have gone out of their way to exploit their customer needs. Not “wants” but needs. Such as companies that buy up mobile home parks and then hike up the land rent forcing people out of their own house. The health sector is a biggie too. Clearly the victims of those businesses are not equal “winners” in such an arrangement.
I focus on America here but that’s not fair because the rest of the world have their fair share of problems too.
