I think people in this thread acknowledge the success that Capitalism has been thus far when restrained by good regulation.
Must of been the pairing of the words "failure" and "capitalism" that made me think that the failure of capitalism was being discussed.

Considering the rising popularity of socialism in the west, especially among academics and the youth, I think it's a worthwhile exercise to remind people that capitalism is the greatest success story in human history and socialist is vastly more dangerous than it's proponents will acknowledge.
