It’s a good point that not all rewards are monetary. We, as a team, do pitch in to help him out, as well. But those are rewards I see as being driven by the people at the company, rather than the actual capitalistic structure of the company.

Basically, I think the saving grace of capitalism is people. If you had perfect AIs running a capitalist system, it would quickly became very savage and unkind to anyone who wasn’t a capitalist. Human beings are what make capitalism tenable, and I feel that too many people have a rather strange attitude that capitalism makes things ‘fair’. It doesn’t. The only place fairness can ever come is from fellow human beings judging and acting on our unique situations.
