My issue is not with capitalism per se... as envisioned by Adam Smith, it isn't all that bad of proposition. Unfortunately, like most systems on paper (Marx and Engle's vision of Communism, for example) is a Utopian thing that is, at its essence unachievable.
Capitalism left to its own devices typically ends up with monopolies, exploited workers, etc.
What is required is a set of laws and regulations to temper the negative aspects.
