It might also be interesting to note that as far as I can tell, there is no truly capitalist society on Earth. Don't want to threadjack, won't go into it, but I will say that if we're not in a purely capitalistic society, then whatever the theoretical driving force is for socialist economies might also have some people who have "perfected" the application of that knowledge, and they might be interesting people to take advice from as well, in my opinion.
Maybe that's begging the question a little, so I'll add that I think there is a need for social service in a healthy society, and for general social welfare, and that people who devote large portions of their lives to the service of others should also be consulted when turning to questions of national / international economic policy, in as far as how it will affect the people they serve and work with.
If you're looking for personal wealth accumulation, start hooking up with Warren Buffett's or Bill Gates' family members and find out which cigars he likes and what he drinks. Sit with him. Chill with him. Learn. etc. Find out who manages his money. Repeat process, etc.
