Capitalism as a philosophy is, and not just on these grounds but many others, provably the bane and antithesis of all life, love, decency, and goodness.
It weaponizes all the bad in the world so that it can make money off the good things that should be free and normal for everyone. It causes needless problems where no problems exist so that it can make money from solving the problems it caused.
It is currently the biggest obstacle to human progress. Capitalism was supposed to be the vehicle to a utopia, not the end point itself.

While I am at it, so too is the western modern system of liberal democracy as sick as the "capitalism" that has raped it.
More death, wickedness, evil, and ill have been attributable to it than any other political system.
A hidden industry of abuse. Scientific and technological progress stifled for the sake of control. Lies and lies-by-ommission as tools of the state. Covert propaganda. Banks enacting public policy as if they were publicly voted for and subject to a consensus. An elite ruling class that is utterly, shamelessly, decadently unfit to rule and as myopic as they are greedy.

How is it that, the foundational principle of capitalism -- making a good product that is quality to compete with your peers -- was systematically raped and twisted to become the absolute inverse of that princple; making as "good" (bad) of a product as you can for as cheap as you can while charging as much as you can for it?

The official story is that it was CIA blowback for their Operation Cyclone, which was a late 70s-1980s program to deliver weapons, intelligence, money, and aid to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, who were fighting the Soviets.

In 1979, the USSR invaded Afghanistan, and occupied it until 1989.
During that time, under Operation Cyclone, the CIA gave aid to a variety of groups fighting against the Soviets in this war, one of which was Osama bin Laden's; I think it was the Taliban but I'm not sure -- in any event, OBL eventually left the Taliban and founded Al Qaeda with another man, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and they went on to commit several noteable terrorist attacks in the 1990s, such as the Khobar Towers, 1996 (19 killed) in the KSA (Saudi Arabia), and the 1998 bombing (224 killed) of the United States embassy in Nairobi. In the year 2000, they did carry out an attack on the USS Cole (17 killed).
I also think there was at some point in the 90s, an Islamic gunman vaguely assocaited with an Al Qaeda cell who attempted to shoot the FBI headquarters, but he failed due to the fact he was quickly shot dead by a doorman; I'm not so sure on the details of this event but I am 100% sure it happened.

Despite all this, Al Qaeda didn't really show up on any US national intelligence estimate radar because at the time, you didn't have the Office of the DNI which centralized all available intelligence and processed it into intelligence product for policy makers; at the time though your intelligence apparatus were competing for budgets and were literally refusing to share actionable intelligence with one another because of this (a frankly insane intelligence failure), which culminated in the events of 2001; and they had to ship-in one of like less than a dozen people in the entire FBI / CIA that spoke Arabic to conduct interviews and review source material after. Everyone was still on the Cold War at the time also, meaning Russians, which left Islamic terror in a blind spot.
