‘A system that counteracts those selfish tendencies’ you mean a system in which:

  • housing is not controlled by companies with no moral incentive to keep them liveable and affordable?
  • people don’t learn from a young age that their value is directly connected to their willingness to fuck people over for money?
  • there is no monetary incentive to create artificial deficits in essential goods like housing and food?
  • the whole economy is not based on ‘cheap labour’ and the illegal extraction of minerals from other countries?
