direct result of unfettered capitalism. The more the wealth gets concentrated into the hands of fewer and fewer people

I’d say it’s lack of political will to fix issues. Poland wanted to access common EU market and all the benefits, so we introduced high quality law and law enforcement along with strong anti curruption framework. Additionally if state fucks you, you can do a complain to the EU Tribunal of Justice. The end result is that we effectively have more capitalism than the corpocracy of US. And it works, capitalism is really good if it runs along with high quality legal framework. It’s not a perfect system, but I by all means prefer it over US
