The self attribution fallacy

https://www.monbiot.com/2011/11/07/the-self-attribution-fallacy/

If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. The claims that the ultra-rich 1% make for themselves – that they are possessed of unique intelligence or creativity or drive – are examples of the self-attribution fallacy. This means crediting yourself with outcomes for which you weren’t responsible. Many of those who are rich today got there because they were able to capture certain jobs. This capture owes less to talent and intelligence than to a combination of the ruthless exploitation of others and accidents of birth, as such jobs are taken disproportionately by people born in certain places and into certain classes.

The findings of the psychologist Daniel Kahneman, winner of a Nobel economics prize, are devastating to the beliefs that financial high-fliers entertain about themselves.

Is there any system that reward talent, hard work or skill ?

Capitalism rewards fraud. It's the true american way.

It also rewards putting words like Freedom and Liberty in the names of laws that restrict freedom and liberty.

It's in the name. Capitalism rewards capital.

I'm all of those and I'm super rich

Capitalism rewards capital. It's literally in the name.

Do you have money? No? fuck you

Capitalism rewards the lucky and the sociopathic.

German saying: "a good horse only jumps ass high as it must."

There are no bonus points for clearing the hurdle with space to spare. You have to jump high enough, but no more.

It's greed, reckless and a total lack of conscience which is rewarded.
