Capitalism - unbounded by personal virtue (imo virtue, in this context, = Christian morals, principles and ethics) - is absolutely as evil and as subject to the manipulation of the system as any other economic model. The advantage the USA had, was having Christian values as a starting point for individuals. The individual was to hold both themselves and their elected representatives in Government to a standard of behavior consistent with those values.
