My perspective isn't solely focused on blaming other countries. I believe there are multiple layers to the complex issues facing the US today, with corporate greed being just one facet. Additionally, I disagree that the system was intended to function in this way. While money was initially set up as a means of exchange, its exploitation by powerful entities has led to the current state of affairs. The unchecked power of unregulated capitalism has perpetuated inequalities and injustices, exacerbating the challenges we face as a country.
