I think the capitalism today is much tamer than the capitalism was in Karl Marx's time. My opinion is based on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_wealthy_historical_figures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_wealthy_historical... At the time of Karl Marx, the wealth built by Rockefeller and Carnegie is such a big portion of wealth of the U.S. But when you look at Buffet and Gates, they are not as wealthy as Rockefeller and Carnegie were. Besides Gates and Buffet's influence on political power is limited.
