Capitalism hasn't failed. Just because it doesn't fit your twisted perceptions of how life should work doesn't mean it isn't successful. For most people in my country, I'd say we have it pretty good with this whole "work hard, play hard" mentality towards economics.
But that is exactly the problem:
you are happy, but only by having slaves.
