At the base of all economic systems is the answer to the question, "How do you get people to work together for the betterment of all?" For most of Time calories have been very expensive so we are conditioned to do the least amount of work possible for the most calories. Most economic systems involve some kind of force to get humans to work and work together. Capitalism seems to be the best we have developed. We like to think that we are happy to work for the betterment of humanity but the reality is that that only goes so far. Eventually work becomes a chore and we want to give up. Capitalism works because it hacks people's self interest to work for everyone. Capitalism has problems but it's the best we have. The best we can do, for now, is to fix the problems that crop up and continue.
