Capitalism & Racing, A Philosopher's Blog
Briefly

Both racing and capitalism involve competition, and this results in winners and losers. Winners are supposed to be rewarded while losers are expected to reflect on their defeat and try harder next time.
While there are many ways to divide rewards, there are two broad approaches. One is a top-heavy reward system that yields the bulk of rewards to a few winners.
Another approach is to spread the rewards more broadly among a larger base of winners. For example, many races divide up the groups by age and most races have male and female divisions.
Success would still be rewarded, but there would be a significant adjustment in how the overall rewards are distributed, benefiting more people at various levels.
