Are they? Or how about a more fundamental question: which system is
more likely to be exploited?
I hear people blaming the "bad apples" and I hear people blaming "the system," but nobody's blaming the culture. Really, an economic system is merely an outgrowth of a country's culture. Look at the nations of the world, the more individualistic and exploitative a culture is, the more free-market capitalism and systemic abuse there will be. The more collectively-minded a culture is, the more wealth distribution there will be.
If you can effect a change in the culture, then the system will change accordingly and the bad apples will be marginalized.
