Sure but that's dangerous if you skip the step of recognizing that people can have value that's not based on their ability to create capital.
We -- you, myself, anybody reading this -- aren't just "creating capital," we are fulfilling our life's ambitions. It just so happens that the free market is the best environment to explore and drive towards something better than what 90% of the other comments are complaining about (reductio ad absurdum lives of complacency.)
Creating capital isn't the end to a means, it is a means to an end.
To your example, a life of complacency is fine. (Edit: I guess you were commenting about someone else, but I still wanted to make the point.)
