The thing capitalism has is, it offers ordinary people the possibility of getting rich. All you have to do is sign up like in olden times by joining the crew of a pirate ship that can use an extra hand. With a little luck you might find yourself a fat slow treasure laden ship and all you have to do is take the loot.
