Correct. Unfortunately, that's not how capitalism makes decisions.

  Capitalism does not decide anything. Capitalism allows individuals to take decisions in a free market. If you want to complain about selfishness then do it on selfish individuals, which by the way, are present in all types of economic systems.

    > Capitalism allows individuals to take decisions in a free market. Capitalism provides a set of incentives that shape how people make decisions. Anyone can be selfish, but selfishness in capitalist society has a particular shape. To ignore the external incentives when looking at human behavior is horribly naive and shortsighted, but is frequently done by capitalism-apologists who seek to disregard any criticism of their favorite incentive system.
