    Islam has mandatory wealth tax (zakat) that can only be given to the poor/needy. It also forbids neo-liberalization of commodities ie betting is not allowed, crypto is not allowed etc. anything that does not have a material being can not be sold or bought. Then there is stuff about forbidding interest on loan. Then stuff about poor people getting to paradise before rich which lead to early adopters donating almost all of their wealth.

    None of this feels free-market-capitalisty.
