Capitalism and Democracy inherently flawed

The flaws within both capitalism and democracy relate to the breadth of the human self.

Just as it is self interest that serves as the impetus for a positive marketplace, so to it is selfishness that ends up distorting a marketplace.

Just as it is self interest that sets-up a system of governance that benefits the whole of society, so to it is selfishness that leads to a system that gives the majority what they want (rather than what they need).
