A society that eats it's children. Capitalist society sees greed and exploitation of lower classes as natural, and child raising flies in the face of this notion as it requires empathy and investment from society. Capitalists see this as a burden. In their eyes these are people of lower status that cannot look after themselves, and people of lower status who cannot look after themselves must be nipped and bitten until they pick up the slack or die.
It is a deeply flawed and sick way to run a society.
