I think there's a limit where economic liberalism ends and corporativism begins, don't you?
One merely has to look at Trump's environmental policies. Claiming there is a war on coal and in turn slapping a 30% tariff on solar panels, for instance. If that wasn't a huge red flag already, look at how he removed regulation for hazardous chemicals on air and water. Who would even benefit from that? Even if, I don't know, there was the benefit of some 0.1% of extra jobs created at certain companies due to it, do you agree with it?
Besides, I belive, given your political inclinations, you would agree merit is a large part of the capitalist free market. However, a lot of inequality actually comes from inheritance (which effectively given unearned wealth to random people much like lottery) and those who merely manipulate money, not from the worker or the entepreneur. And it has been shown the economy can, and often is, negatively impacted by speculation and wealth concentration.
