I see Captialism as natural selection in economic form.
Does natural selection work? Is it near collapse because a particular species (let's say, polar bears) is having a rough time of it?

Capitalism is great, if it is honest.
However greed and the need for greedy power takes over most, there fore the collaspe of Rome was doomed from the get go,, by intiating this "accpetance" policy.
Now the USA has walked right into those footsteps of becoming the mordern day Rome, and well now we are seeing the collaspe.
The collaspe is manipulated , and corrupt too. ENRON-Lebhman Brothers, BUSHES, and CLINTONS
AND millions and millions of very stupid Americans who don't care want has happened to our country.
Could you image if every one stopped buying and selling homes, stopped using these mortage companies, and just rebuilt
Stopped driving, and went to using mopeds, and public transportation
And got rid of their health care plans, and ate right,
And only purchased American products made in Kirkland, Washington
Walmart would go under,
And don't shop at home depot...
If it is a franchise don't go in,
But now the USA is that much closer to becoming the worlds only banking insitute because they are lending the money to the rest of the worlds financial institutions.

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.
Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).
Actual economics is the persons that are paying the business loans of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.
Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

I don't think the US will break up, but I do think you have to rethink this "winner take all" mentality of yours.
It just isn't working - you've had 3 major financial crises in the last 20 years now

the problems we are seeing now in the US are further evidences of the failure of our more communist leanings.
left to their own devices, no capitalist would loan money to someone who could not demonstrate that they could pay it back.

Let me get this straight, you want us to discuss an unintelligent question intelligently.
No thanks, I'll pass. I can now see being a top contributor is based on quantity not quality.
