Mostly bad

Capitalism is based on the idea of productive ownership. That is, one can buy stock in a business and profit from owning the business, even if that means making more from other's labour than they make themselves.

It's an attractive life if it works for you; of course it is. But it's very closely allied conceptually to slavery.

Its first priority is the ownership of property--real estate, contracted labour with a worker, intellectual property, whatever--and property is formed by the human imagination; therefore, ultimately, it can be a bad basis for managing the scarce resources of the physical world, just as much as the socialist systems that capitalists like to mock as "unrealistic."

A scientifically valid economic program isn't going to look quite like capitalism: It's going to be less enthusiastic about getting free money from abstract ownership, and more intent on resource conservation. That doesn't mean it won't have some similar concepts.

Honest question

What do you mean with "intent on resource conservation"?
