Why this is not the end of capitalism

The tribe (i.e. the large group of people at the bottom of the pyramid of finances) are still striving to get to the top. The tribe still wants to live as their leaders do even when those leaders have turned out to be huge selfish frauds. Sure, the tribe may be upset by everhting they heared and learned over the past few months, however a large part of their frustration comes from the fact that they have been hurt, i.e. lost money, by trying to be and behave just like their leaders: spending their savings on stocks and taking risks all to move up the financial ladder themselves. So then the question is: is the frustration really towards the leaders or towards themselves? 

Sure the top may have been flattened for now, however the pyramid as a whole is still standing strong and rising ever taller! All we need now is find another groundlayer to add to the pyramid. Africa, stay alert as we'll be coming after you now to add you to our ever growing capitalism.

1 question from my side though: can somebody perserves some of those safaria parcs before we ruin them for oil and minerals?

Thank you.
