"Which is something that modern capitalism is trying to make impossible". Absurd. Modern capitalism? As compared to...classical capitalism, or ancient capitalism? Capitalism doesn't "try" to do anything, capitalism is a system by which goods and services are exchanged at market-determined values. Those values can be/are altered by things like taxes and government subsidies, of course, but saying capitalism "tries" to do [X] is like saying gravity "tries" to make objects fall down. "Basic Economics" and "Economic Facts and Fallacies" by Thomas Sowell are two books that do a pretty good job of clarifying how and why economies work (or fail to work) in the ways that they do. https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/basic-economics-a-common-sense-guide-to-the-economy-9780465002603 https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/basic-econom... https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/economic-facts-and-fallacies-second-edition-9780465022038 https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/economic-fac...
