capitalism's constraints

Capitalism, while promoting economic growth and innovation, has inherent constraints. These include income inequality, where wealth accumulates among the few, and market failures, where non-competitive practices can harm consumers. Environmental degradation often occurs due to prioritizing profit over sustainability. Additionally, access to resources and opportunities can be uneven, leading to social disparities. Economic cycles can result in booms and busts, causing instability. Lastly, the pursuit of profit can lead to a focus on short-term gains rather than long-term societal benefits, creating challenges in addressing issues like healthcare and education accessibility.
