Capitalism gives an avenue for human greed to flourish but does so in a "win-win" environment instead of a zero sum one. Combine it with Free Market ideals and you have people bringing themselves out of poverty in higher rates than any other socio-economic system.

Absolutely...as long as their is a collective effort to do things that are too big, too unprofitable or otherwise not consistent with free market economies such as our judicial system, the military, etc etc etc....sensible taxation and sensible regulation is the only mechanism for facilitating the win win environment...otherwise you have a system of the survival of the most willing to commit the most atrocities to meet their ends...
