      There being a purpose to capitalism implies that there is some grand plan behind this system. There isn’t.

      I think you are so terrified by the idea that the world and it’s economic system are inherently chaotic that you are coming up with entirely irrational attempts at smart-sounding explanations like this one.

      This doesn’t mean that there aren’t elites exploiting their favorable position in the current system, including in times of crisis that they caused themselves.
