If you want capitalism to work, you need some kind of "homo economicus" that is able to look for their own selfinterest.

If what you have is companies powered by complex financial systems and artificial intelligence help while consumers are not able to get a discount right, you are going to end with all money in one side of the table with the other empty handed.

This is another reason to improve our education systems. We need to function in an increasing complex society and that requires an incresing education quality with more resources, better methologies and more time dedicated to build knowledge and less to build national identity. (To memorize the list of presidents is not as an useful skill as it used to be, I guess).
