Children who displayed aggressive behaviour at school, such as bullying or temper outbursts, are likely to earn more money in middle age, according to a five-decade study that upends the maxim that bullies do not prosper.

They are also more likely to have higher job satisfaction and be in more desirable jobs, say researchers from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex.

I think it's rather Capitalism promotes toxic social behavior, but it doesn't promote being anti-social necessarily.... though that'd be one of its side-effects...

That's the actual meaning of anti-social. You'll even see it referred to in some governments' communications. It's the newer term for sociopathy it looks like.

Sort of. The earliest version of the DSM used the term sociopathy but I think subsequent versions starting in the 60s referred to it as antisocial personality disorder and noted that it had also been referred to as sociopathy or psychopathy.
