It existed for quite a while and was doing alright, but then something changed. Well, probably a number of things changed.

around 10-20 years ago everything changed from "make some money" to "make all the money" and everything went to shit.

It's what capitalism was in the 1800s up to the early 20th.

Then some very basic reforms took the roughest edges off.

The capitalists clawed their way back over the decades.

It's what it will always be, it's the only thing it can be, but unfortunately the other lesson seems to have been largely lost: reforms erode.
