... but blaming the current situation on perhaps a culture of impatient profiteering and vicious competition is more reasonable.
Wow. That has to be one of the silliest, most naive things ever stated on this site. Without profiteering and competition there would be no innovation and no advancement in fields such as medicine, technology, science, finance and engineering, just to name a few. If you think intelligent and capable people would be motivated to work hard out of the goodness of their hearts then perhaps you need to put down the Communist Manifesto and get back to reality.
