Nothing but morality, ethics, and legalities, and money.

You or I are not starting a bank incorporated in the caymans unless we kill, steal, extort, fraud, bribe, and generally do all the same shit the banks right now are doing. A lot of it is legal grey area.

But the way these people built their empires was on the backs of organizations like the mafia.

So STFU that its even capitalism. Because success is not measured by lawful trade of property. Aka capital.

The Power Elite by C Wright Mills is the best written discussion I have seen addressing this issue. Extremely comprehensive, it could be updated to include some of the more contemporary international organizations/structures, but does a pretty damn good job for its time.

If you're concerned about a corrupted and manipulative system masquerading as equal opportunity capitalism, this would be the place to start.

Give me a freakin' migraine, like when people try to label something Naziism (i.e. nationalistic socialism) to something that is not nationalistic and socialist.
