Corruption and all the bad things you've mentioned are capitalism's fuel. Capitalism doesn't work without being horrible. That's just how it is. The pursuit of infinite profit in a finite medium is just impossible, so capitalism resorts to shitty practices and fucking people's lives to keep the profits coming. Until the bubble bursts and all the peasants are more fucked and the rich are ok. There is no way around. I called it capitalism because capitalism is horrible.
