Even feudal kings couldn't do this shit. They couldn't crash and burn their lands and holdings by shorting them in any way, and there wasn't any other kingdom they could just fuck off to after wards.
Capitalism is run by kings who've found a way to do exactly that: profit by destroying everything they're in charge of with zero reprocussions.
It's because capitalists aren't tied to the land like feudalists. When shit hits the fan, capitalists, especially commercial and financial capitalists, can always fuck off to another port with at least some of their capital and start over while feudalists are stuck with their shitty poorly managed land, thereby incentivizing them to not fuck up their feudal holdings.
