I believe capitalism is the best economic system we've invented and likely will invent, but, you give it too much credit. American capitalism has worked largely because it was underpinned by a foundation of Christian morality. With that foundation crumbling, capitalism will fail, like any other system would when managed by a largely corrupt and immoral society.

We are seeing it happen in real time. Our president is a crook. We have plenty of evidence that he influenced-peddled to foreign countries for millions. Our media lie to us constantly. Most of the government, including the DOJ, FBI, and CIA, are run by corrupt, partisan, and evil people who are largely unaccountable to the public. Our judicial benches are filled with partisan activists who largely ignore the law and the constitution as they make whatever rulings they can to promote their ideologies or world views. Capitalism will not save us from any of this, especially as long as so much of the public keep voting into office people who actively support this kind of corruption.
