There is nothing inherently wrong with capital, owning capital, and using capital. Problems arise in how capital is used. This is why most economic systems employing capitalism are actually mixed economies as Willravel mentioned.
Pure laissez-faire capitalism will likely never happen. There would be too much social unrest and upheaval before it could be established.
Many of the recent problems in world economies can be traced back to lax regulatory policies. Though I understand this is up for debate.
