The thing that I keep coming back to, is the observation (sadly can't remember the source) that most capitalists, especially the ones trumpeting the praises of the free market, would rather not be capitalists as such. They would rather be rent-collectors, arbitrageurs, and such - because actual competition is difficult and risky. The richer someone gets, the lower the chances are they they're engaged in anything useful or capitalistic as such, and the higher the odds that they're actively preventing the capitalist model that they espouse, from functioning the way that they claim it should.
In such circumstances, why practice capitalism at all?
