Riba and banking ethics are seperate concepts. I can trade with gold currency and partcipate in capitalism.

Where can you trade in gold currency? All modern Capitalist states use fiat currency and they force you to use their currency it is also known as 'legal tender laws'. You are forced to use their money because taxes are only collected in their fiat currency, if you buy and sell using other currency you will be depriving the state out of its tax revenue and they will not like that. They like their cut from all transactions. I would not expect kafir economists and Capitalists to critique riba or make it a part of their definition of Capitalism. It can be argued that the discipline of Economics is a pseudo-science and economists largely act as a preistly class justifying riba and interest. Of course I am talking about Capitalism/Capitalist societies there is no difference as far as I am concerned.
