Agreed, although I'd reframe it; capitalism is a solid default, and does a good job of innovating ... but it tends to operate like gravity, the more capital you have the more you get.
So, you need a mechanism to redistribute that capital, and you need to make sure that the things everyone is supposed to have enough of, don't get distributed that way in the first place.
Yeah the way I look at it, capitalism is like oxygen -- completely pure, it will react almost anything and destroy it. But dilute/regulate it down, and it's remarkably useful. Even then though, you need safeguards/antioxidants to help keep it in check.
So the problem isn't that we breathe oxygen -- it's that we're breathing 100% pure oxygen instead of normal air (which is like 22% oxygen).
