One can argue very convincingly that Capitalism (understood strictly as mere markets) is not a problem, but the lack of moral regulation of the markets and exploitation via usury are the problems. A person is merely using what is available even as he/she tries to reform such markets. To continue down this path of argument, I refer you to the following three articles:
Crucified Between Two Thieves: Catholic Social Teachings vs. Right and Left
Usury and Social Justice - Would a Bank Charge Jesus Usury?
Living Simply That Others Might Simply Live
Ontologically though I would argue the real problem with Capitalism is much deeper, which I shall explore in another post.
