• Steve Jobs faked full signal strength and swapped devices during the first iPhone demo due to fragile prototypes and bug-riddled software.

• Engineers got drunk during the presentation to calm their nerves.

• Despite the challenges, Jobs successfully completed the 90-minute demonstration without any noticeable issues.

The difference is that in other systems, when people behave like that, it’s then gaming the system. Capitalism is the only system that incentivizes it in rewards it directly, As a matter of principle.

At least pure Capitalism promotes a free, open market rather than black markets.

No, it doesn’t. It promotes oligarchy.

I had to give my head an actual shake - this can’t be a real comment. A normal, sentient human would not produce a sentence like this unironically.

The only explanation I can come up with is the OP is a first-year economics student.

It doesn’t reward it anymore than even local government control over resources. You act like nobody has ever tried to get out of a speeding ticket or fake their way to impress their lead.

Capitalism incentivizes producing value

Not sure why you are down voted. Marx argues that the secret to value is human labor, and capitalists exploit labor to capture surplus value.

Progress requires human labor. It doesn’t matter what government or ideology you use.

It incentivises producing a perceived value. So faking value works just as well as providing real value
