People like the robber barons assumed that the doctrine of the survival of the fittest authenticated them as deserving power. You know, "I'm the richest. Therefore, I'm the best.

But the truth is that it is a lot like an ecosystem. And you get many of the same results.

And it hasn't finished collapsing, by the way.
