I agree with your argument that a Baron could be gorging himself while a begger starves to death... this is a definite disadvantage of capitalism, but does this disadvantage outweigh the advantages? And how do the alternatives compare... I would say it's still a far leap to say tue system is terrible or worse than most proposed alternatives. I like the saying - Democracy is the worst possible system, except for all other alternatives... which is to say democracy is a way for 51 percent to force their will down the throats of the other 49 percent... but autocracy is still worse in general because it does not have a corrective mechanism like democracy has. The same I believe applies to capitalism. We can improve pure democracy by going for constitutional democracy... some may argue a mostly free market with some taxation is an improvement over pure anarcho-capitalism.
