Capitalism was a mistake. The only innovation it breeds is how to exploit things for money.
It works when the company is growing. But when it has reached 100% of their potential users, the only growth is greed and that’s where it fails.
One of my favourite song lyrics regarding this is "wild growth is called cancer"* - growing is fine, but if you need to keep growing to sate investors' demands for more and more profit, you end up doing more harm than good.
The song is in German by a band named "Saltatio Mortis" (Latin: Dance of the Dead) called "Wachstum über alles" (German: Growth above all). You can probably guess the topic from this context.
