Well first of that capitalism is bad even though its productive, maybe if one wants empathy model then social programs but capitalism is pretty much good. Atleast i dont know of any better economic model so far to make a country prosperious.
At the expense of someone or something else. Capitalism works while there is an environment to expand into and exploit. Free market capitalism doesn't work for the third world countries that are late in developing because they can't compete with the first world. You need to read 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism
Capitalism makes some people prosperous at the expense of others and over time this inequality gets worse, which is what we are currently seeing. Find out about fractional reserve banking which means that the economy has to continually expand exponentially just in order to function. If not then we fall into recession, or worse deflation. Thermoeconomics tells us that capitalism is not sustainable in its current form unless we leave the gravity well of the Earth. Read up about about the Long Emergency. Resources are being exponentially depleted while demand is growing exponentially. We are heading for an almighty cliff of sustainability and we have one shot and one shot only to continue progressing. An excellent and easy read is The Crash Course: The Unsustainable Future of Our Economy, Energy, and Environment
Basically the human race is fucked if it continues with capitalism because self-interest does not solve the Tragedy of the commons.
Not only that but capitalism can only function if a percentage of other people or countries fail.
There is not enough money in existence to pay off all the debt because money is loaned out with interest, both of which need to be paid back. This is how money is created in the system. The result of this is that a certain percentage of the population need to fail. This is a youtube documentary to explain it simply to you.

That's not socialism.

I live in the UK. The country has been moving progressively further to the right since the 80's. What you are saying is completely untrue. Have you ever been here?
