A lot of capital existing means that inflation adjusted US t-bond have at the moment a 0.07% interest rate. It even used to be negative in 2013.

A lot of labor existing means that we have high unemployment in many countries.

It's sad that big pharma companies buy back their own shares and let go of employees instead of investing the money into developing new drugs.

Apple doesn't buy back shares but has $158.8billion in cash in there reserves that they don't manage to invest into developing new technology.
