Simply because it's a system based on infinite growth in a finite world.
Look at what the greed of capitalism is doing to our planet.
In a perfect world where humans aren't greedy, maybe it could work, but humans are evil and greedy and it'll never work.
It wouldn't work because capitalism requires the inherent greed.
If a business was run in a way that it intentionally stopped growth at a sustainable level where all employees were paid a good living wage then you'd basically be doing Communism. Sure the means of production would be owned by some individual or company but the whole point of the system is to not look at employees like a commodity. In capitalism employees are just like the machines they use to do their job.
