This didn't begin with capitalism; it's a pitfall that humans can easily be steered into unless there are social mechanisms that keep them clear of it.
One of my preferred social mechanisms os to split personal value (or skill or worth) into lots of different categories, to the point where no one could ever be the best in every category. Money is something that collapses these down to one variable; we should embrace a multiplicity of variables to strengthen the prospects for a communal, harmonious future.
