    The problem with your comment is thinking capitalism intended anything. The whole idea of capitalism is that perfectly rational actors with perfect knowledge can find the best price for an item. (There are no perfectly rational actors, and knowledge is deliberately obscured.) It doesn’t intend any particular method or outcomes. It is only predicated on the idea that things will just happen to work out.
