    I consider the US not capitalist because the most important component of the economy, money, is centrally planned by a small committee of insiders. Broken money leads to broken markets. I’d be ok with calling it crony capitalism.

      it’s not capitalism because the capital is controlled by few people?

      Isn’t that the point of being a capitalist to secure more capital? Why would a pure-capitalist want Market regulation, and not themselves with all the money and everyone else with none?
