There's a fundamental difference in how capital allocation actually works. Market-driven competition creates real incentives for efficiency and effectiveness—the best ideas and most capable allocators naturally rise to the top through constant pressure and competition. Governments, by contrast, simply lack those same feedback mechanisms. Institutional decision-making without market discipline breeds inefficiency at scale. The real risk isn't capitalism itself, but systems where capital flows are controlled by those seeking personal gain rather than genuine returns—that kind of rent-seeking behavior eventually hollows out the entire mechanism. If we want sustainable systems, especially in emerging financial infrastructure, we can't build them on foundations where power concentrates without accountability.
