I mean, it does work Just not nearly as well as its proponents claim.
I'd say it works flawlessly. I mean yes, millions die each year from starvation, preventable diseases or equally preventable wars,... buuut it allows a small group of people a life of luxury and excess putting Louis the 14. to shame.
What i'm trying to say is capitalism is a system which maximizes exploitation of people and environment. You could say it is efficient but not fair. Some people value efficiency over fairness, and in capitalism their voices are amplyfied by their ability to influence the media.
