The USA is one of the last places that still works because if capitalism.
Is that capitalism or liberal democracy? The two do not necessarily directly connect, though obviously economic freedom is associated with the latter.
Outright capitalism causes many of the US' problems as well, like the outrageous rich/poor gap and the social problems with minorities, universal health care etc.
Don't get me wrong, I am generally pro-capitalist, but it's a system with a lot of issues. At the very least, it requires hefty guidance and intervention, and long-term I do think we'll probably need to move beyond it.
Pure profit as motivation is not, I think, sustainable for the type of future we need to build.
