need a new system

Capitalism - every man must fight for the right to make decisions for themselves, resulting in the rich and powerful lacking a sense of social responsibility.

Socialism - every man is born with the right to everything, resulting in the poor lacking a sense of individual responsibility.

Somehow we have to figure a system that can better balance these two, because as the wealth gap widens, the increased polarization increases the social risk (revolutions, unrest, etc) of international investors, who will seek other (more stable) countries to exploit and leave us with sore behinds and not so much as a courtesy wank.
