Jim Craven – Capitalism: A System Run By and For Psychopaths

Summary:
This article is not a critique of capitalism, in fact, it doesn't talk about capitalism at all. But what it does suggests from the title is that neoliberalism is perfect for psychopaths to rise to the top who can then shape it. According to psychologists who study this condition, psychopathology this is not a personality trait, it is a mental illness. Considering the amount of damage these people can do, including blowing the planet up, society needs a screening process to ensure that they never get anywhere near the top.It is often said that 1 in 25 people display psychopathic traits, but most of these people have antisocial personalities and often later in life, or after rehabilitation, they will display empathy, but psychopaths never show any empathy. 1 in a 100 people are psychopaths
