How is it that so many good minds diagnose capitalism as the central problem, for women in particular, but everyone really, and nothing can be done about it?

There is no way—none—for anyone in this society to make a great deal of money without exploiting other people. (bell hooks, Feminist Theory)

Are greed and lust for power baked into the Patriarchy? Are Patriarchy and capitalism synonymous? Co-dependent?
