Due to their individualistic mentality, which emphasizes not violating any one person's rights even if for the society's good, capitalists can live guilt-free in a country where 1% of the population has a disproportionate amount of wealth. See below.
Explanation:
In the capitalist system, violating individual rights for the greater good of society is considered impossible, because the person whose rights are being violated is also part of the society that is supposed to be improved by this violation.
But this mentality which focuses primarily on individuals and their rights allows capitalists to deny any guilt or responsibility coming from the injustices of inequality in society.
This mentality allows capitalists to be guilt-free and use the individually-focused system of thought to shun many potential solutions to inequality , even though in reality, they live in a nation where 1% of the population receives a disproportionate amount of the wealth and much of society suffers as a result..
