Corrupt and fair are key points. I believe it comes from a change in worldview.
The fundamentals used to be closer to the Bible's. They shifted to subjectivity, nationalism, authoritarianism (unchecked), and capitalism. Then, new groups around 1900 shifted to more subjectivity and atheism. Add pleasure-driven culture from the sequel revolution onward. Then, evolution, intersectionality, and feelings over facts.
As I look at these, I see a dangerous combo of not seeing individuals with inherent worth, thinking people are like animals, believe/do whatever without long term consequences, and do what maximizes selfish gain, money or pleasure. Our problems are inevitable under that mindset.
Let's look at specific examples in your post. The rich should take more wealth for themselves since that's maximizing selfish gain. The poor (or scheming) should also try to take their wealth by theft or welfare. If people get hurt, it's an unavoidable problem in a workd of conflict where the fittest survive. No objective morals even exist.
Fortunately, we're seeing a growing rejection of those values leading to life transformations. That's a huge part of Trump getting elected since his policies are appealing to such people. The Spirit of Christ is also causing revivals across the country with thousands to tens of thousands gathered trying to change at the core. Inner change leads to outward effects.
Right now, our college students are taught conflict theory, favoring specific geoups, subjectivism, work against our natural design no matter the losses, and pleasure/money/intellect are god.
What will happen when college students instead are taught objective truth, doing what's right above all, building on our natural design, loving others with sacrifices made, helping those in need onto their feet, unity despite our differences, and building companies that are profitable within those virtues?
I think the results will be beautiful. I've already seen places like that on a small scale. For big ones, Chic-fil-A and Hobby Lobby are pretty close. Part of God's design is some people will be rich and eventually generous. So, that won't change in most places.
