Capitalism is more than a concept. Free-market capitalism is just a concept.
This is unfortunate because it limits you to a theoretical mode of thinking. It is probably why we disagree much of the time, and would also explain why much of the time our discussions are non-starters.

I can ask you - why do you think in straight lines and right angles? Your thought processes are linear - similar to many others who post here.

Can I get an explanation with an example? I try to think of these things logically and realistically. If that brings about a linear process, then so be it.
I can only assume the reason for this is largely theoretical. In the real world, capitalism in and of itself does not cure social ills. In the real world, capitalism should be tempered with good governance. It's why we have such things as laws against child labour and slavery.
