I think you might believe in market economy but not capitalism. Market economy is an economic system, capitalism is an ideology.

There should be a wealth cap of sorts

Some sort of NG+

Once you reach a certain amount of wealth, you get a parade and then you give up all your wealth, get a new identity, and start over.

Maybe if you go over a certain wealth amount, you're entered into Open PvP mode.

In software we say there are people problems and tool problems. You generally can't solve one type with the other.

I think this applies here. Almost all economic models have positives, but given a chance individuals will abuse it to skew things in their favor.

I dont really see a good solution out there unfortunately, so I settle on the one that has worked in the past which is regulation.

At the end of the day, I think that the issue with this sentiment is that in some sense, control over something and ownership of that thing are virtually the same thing. If you have "appropriately controlled capitalism", then you have someone other than the capitalists ultimately deciding what the implements that drive the economy are used for and who the dividends are given to. If that someone is just some individual or small group controlling it to their own interests, then you just have an authoritarian system (and frankly, its not really different from a capitalist system that has become sufficiently consolidated for the number of rich owners controlling things to be very small anyway, since those guys will also run things to their own interest). If theres some kind of collective/societal-wide control mechanism, and its actually sufficient in its influence to prevent the abuses of capitalism, then it isnt really capitalism at all anymore because those private "owners" just have a legal fiction of ownership. At which point, their position is doubly useless, so there is little benefit to keeping up that illusion.

As a thought experiment, let's say we both have a paper route. We are not in direct competition, but I am unable to expand my route because doing so would be treading on your route. I stop being able to do my route. Anyone could pick up my route, but you are in a position to gain more from my route than someone new to the business. Thereby, you pick up an outsized share of the route. This crowds both new and existing potential route owners.

The example is only about capital accumulation and state involvement. There are other problematic issues such as wage labor as addressed by the comic.

Just about any economic system, if it was run perfectly, would be mostly fine.

The problem is people behave unwisely.

What do you mean when you say those words?

Edit: you're wrong about what you think you mean based on a false dichotomy with another profoundly stupid¹ system, but also I dont think you're using the right words for it, because the formal definitions of those words make your comment nonsense word salad.

¹still better than both what I'm guessing you mean and what the words you said usually mean

But capitalism expect constantly growing capital value right? How is that possible?

any solutions?

anything?

anything at all

useless

It is like you join new MMORPG and get fuked by 1kkk lvl players where you barely can get to lvl 10

I like how P. the carpenter is depicted shirtless.
