Capitalism is always about control.
At the center of our society/culture is the human being's desire to dominate others. We use capitalism/money as a means to achieve that. Money/power always has a systemic property to create monopolies and reinforce them.
That being said, technological advance usually benefits more than just the owners of capital. But the balance usually is tipped in their favor.
In short: There's enough food for everybody on this planet, but we currently prefer to have more of it for ourselves and let others starve.
If we don't like this system, then we need to move away from capitalism (as we know it) and put different values than domination/power/money at the center of our culture.
