I don't know if that is the case. I kind of dislike the "mental" explanation for the actions of billionares. Yeah they are cruel, but I doubt Bezzos even sees anything wrong with his actions. Or if he even sees his actions at all. He lives in a fantasy land detached from reality thanks to his huge cushion of wealth. He probably genuinely believes in the "invisible hand" and "free market". Yeah he constantly sees headlines calling him out but that doesn't mean he understands what they are saying.
That's the problem with capitalism, the separation of capital from it's labor so that the capital becomes blind to it's own actions. It's why capitalism creates crisis, it cannot see the actions of wealth hoarding, abusing workers, and crushing competitors.
