Is the Distribution of Wealth a Secondary Consequence of the Capitalist System?

I don't think there's any evidence whatever that the prito distribution is a secondary consequence of the capitalist system. So what that means to me is that the left wingers aren't actually taking the problem of relative poverty seriously enough, because they've got a handful of stock answers that have been applied with absolutely no success whatever. They're not looking at the problem with enough seriousness. But the problem exists. And it doesn't exist too because people are malevolent or greedy, although that might add to it. It's much, its much more complex problem than one that's much more difficult to solve.
