host--i wonder if this is the strongest way to go about arguing your position:
it seems to me that the generating social and economic inequalities is a *structural* feature of capitalism.
arguing from corruption of individuals within that structure seems weaker simply because you can always find examples of that.
the link would be to demonstrate something qualitatively different about corruption within this system that goes beyond the fact that we experience it in real time...
personally, i think the question of inequalities and the politics that lay behind it run way beyond the characteristics of the oligarchy/ruling classes...
