It's a pretty severe contradiction of capitalism: When everyone is out to extract as much money as possible, all of it is going to go to whoever the best at doing that, leaving very little for everyone else. This capital isn't being used to better the human race, it's sitting in an offshore bank account, funding far right death squads and/or genocides, or being spent on the most vile of child exploitation.
