    No, but the government is, ostensibly, the one entity with the power to reign them in. The problem is that capitalism has superseded democracy, and is a direct challenger to it as a form of, or superstructure to, government.

    It is incompatible with democracy, as money is power, so the more of it you have, the more power over society you wield, a concept that stands in direct conflict to the very foundations of democracy.

    Capitalism and democracy are mutually exclusive methods of running society.
