"Healthy capitalism" is an oxymoron. It's like saying "healthy cancer." Capitalism has only existed for a few hundred years, like 2 or 3, but people have been making art and luxuries for tens of thousands of years.

Cancer is what happens when cells no longer have a mechanism to keep them from unchecked multiplication. We all need cells, but only in a effective quantity. The same applies to the assorted parts that make up capitalism.

I think that rejecting all of capitalism is a bad idea. Instead, the issues with capitalism and other systems should be identified, then have a designed arrangement to prevent those problems from developing.
