Once a critical mass of such people is achieved, change will come.

I believe the change will be towards socialism because of the flaws inherent in capitalism but of course that is meant to be seen.

There is a big problem however in the sense that the people in power, wether those are Priests, Politicians or CEOs, as always – as has always happened in history – need the lower classes ignorant and struggling. What better way to sway them to their own agendas.

In any case, I suggest you check what Marxism has to say on these issues and you may be surprised. I know I was, when I first started, as I expected foaming at the mouth revolutionaries and found out brilliant minds. You owe it to yourself to see the alternatives before you dismiss them.

If you want the system to remember you simply register an account with intensedebate

You saw how monopoly regulation has ended up as a weak slap in the wrist. The "punishment" given to Microsoft in the start of the century was a joke.

The question, then, is why are these people bad (as it would seem you're saying). Why aren't those who want good change, those whose internal economics value societal prosperity over personal prosperity, in positions of power? Again, the problem of power getting into the wrong hands seems to be one of those problems that will plague any system.

I get the sense that whatever fixes or necessary conditions you have for a better system would also "fix" whatever you see wrong with free markets.
