Private capital is amoral and can generate negative outcomes as frequently as positive outcomes

Just a brief point.

Besides the problems of financialization of the economy, rentier behavior, and the agenda of capital, neoliberalism, etc. is the problem of lots of money out there, seeking some kind of positive marginal return, preferably extranormally positive returns.

I saw this title of a book review in the Guardian, "Evicted by Matthew Desmond review – what if the problem of poverty is that it’s profitable to other people?," and it reminded me of this issue.

One of the problems with so much capital sloshing around in private equity is that it will fund anything.

For example, one of the reasons that Robert Mugabe stayed in power so long in Zimbabwe was because even as traditional sources of funding to governments dried up, vulture capital was willing to step in ("The investor who saved Mugabe," Mail & Guardian).

Similarly, how private equity buys up bonds issued by bankrupt government agencies in Puerto Rico, making it harder to come up with socially optimal outcomes ("'Bottom-feeding' hedge funds are big winners on Puerto Rico bonds," Financial Times).
.
Or Warren Buffett, who benefits from vulture financial loan products sold to people who buy mobile homes ("Buffett's mobile-home empire makes record profits while foreclosing on homes," Seattle Times). Even though he's pledging to give away most of his wealth on philanthropic purposes.

Etc.

As long as money is to be made, some firm is out there willing to put out the money to make it, whether its for good or ill.
