Isn't compassionate capitalism a bit of a contradiction?<p>On a practical note, can we really expect people to self regulate themselves into fairness and compassion?<p>One of the benefits of democracies with capitalists economies have been that the system is harder for few to be really unfair to others for too long. If we're starting to see corruption, or unfair forms of it appear, I'm not sure relying on the good intentions of the few who are in easily corruptable, massively advantageous positions a good strategy. I also don't know of real processes that could be put in place to prevent it though.<p>Maybe we do need to wish for a better social moral accross our population, and hope that those who find themselves at the top have grown with those core values in them.
