in ways that don't make the most sense. The decisions are made by a few members of society (the Capitalists ie: those with the capital) rather than by the people as a community. The Capitalists buy the souls of their armies of executives and the whole system is built on money rather than other values such as love, charity, fair play, sharing etc. This method of economic distribution then just pays into the hands of the devil, encouraging everyone to figure out ways to cheat the system and just look out for themselves monetarily.
