Capitalism is on the extremme end of the spectrum, like communism. If capitalism is strictly applied in its most litterate form, it will lead to corruption, the rich capitalist will rule over the masses. Just as in communism, the state will become corrupted and dominate the masses. Neither one of these systems can work, unless rightous people are running them. This is why (like another poster said) Islam is the perfect blend. Nowhere in the world is true Capitalism, or Democracy, or Communism performed because these systems quickley get out of control with out a balance from the other end of the spectrum.

Here in America they pride themselves on a free market capitalist society, but they also include some socialist ideas in the system. The state pays for roads and parks and other municipalities, and private bussiness is aloud to do bussiness with some state regulation. It is an excepted fact that either extreme of the spectrum will result in colapse of the system, as seen in the USSR. China is good example of a communist state which relises the flaws of communism and balances it with a large free market enterprise.

The bottom line is no socio-economic system will work efficiently without a moral infrastructure securely in place - this includes christianity or any other religion which has basic moral codes in its teachings. the difference is, no other religion has within its teachings, a governmental system, except Islam. Which is one reason Islam has in the past been such a powerful movement both esotericly and exotericly, and in the future will continue to be a major world governmental system.
