Capitalism in its purest sense, is that economic system practiced and endemic to a government operated under a Constitution of Liberty, such as that which America founded in 1789. To say that capitalism is defined by Liberty is not an exaggeration, as the capitalism practiced in America today no more resembles true capitalism, than in the same measure Washington D.C.'s current government reflects a government based upon Liberty.
Suffice to say, if you believe there is a wide disparity in what capitalism and liberty are today and what they should be in the Constitution of our Founding Fathers/Framers, you are correct.
The only way to correct this problem is to first restore Liberty. And the only way to restore Liberty, is to return those constitutional powers of Congress as specified in Article I, Sec 8 & 9, back to the Public Forum of Congress. For it is in these sworn power/duty(s) of Congress lie the basic machinery of running a great nation. And it is in the performance of these constitutional powers by Congress's, when performed within the Public Forum, that the transparency necessary for the constitutants of Congress to judge their representatives performance, is revealed to that constituent voter, the American Citizen, so that the people can accurately give their consent to the actions of their government.
This is the only way Congress and our government can justify their authority as mandated by our Declaration of Independence, is through the Consent of the Governed. Only by the transparent actions of the Congress in regards to the presentation, debate, compromise and vote in carrying out their sworn constitutional power/duty(s), as it takes place within the Public Forum, can the elected officials display their alliances within the clear understanding of the people.
Without this constitutional mechanism, it is impossible for a government to gain the Consent of the Governed, as that mechanism has been disconnected. And without the Consent of the Governed, the rule of the government is no longer justified, and it then becomes the duty of the people to replace that government.

Herein, lies both difference and definition that separates liberty from tyranny. For liberty exists where the government justifies itself by the Consent of the Governed, while tyranny is defined as that government which rules without the Consent of the Governed. And until this breach is restored and secured, we can no more identify the term capitalism in America today than we can define liberty within our current government, for it rules without the Consent of the Goverened.
The most damning thing is that tyranny often identifies its economic model also as capitalism. Even in a communist government, it eventually defines itself as a degree of capitalism, but in neither case they are at best some bastardized form of both capitalism and liberty, for the simple reason that they operate without the Consent of the Governed, and are therefore suseptible to the predatory nature of economic model of that is inherent to tyranny.
And it is in this contrast, capitalism exists with the economic model of liberty.
It is not a question of conjecture, but upon the simple fact of whether Congress is 1) executing its constitutionally assigned power/duty(s) as defined by Article I, Sec 8 & 9 of our U.S. Constitution, and 2), whether these powers are being performed within the Public Forum.

In America, as to the first, Congress does everything but perform upon its constitutional powers and duties. They have been nearly wholey outsourced. As for the second, it is impossible for it must be predicated upon the first.
Now, rather than define the role of the Public Forum as the mechanism controlling Liberty and the type of government that rules in America; I would refer you to the 1796 Farewell Address of President George Washington, where he rips into the result of Congress having outsourced, and Washington himself signing the charter, of the one constitutional power of Congress that was "outsourced", when Washington delivered his warning of the greatest threat to our Nation, in 1796.

Washington refers to it as, "This is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed." But if you're not already here, go to www.nar2012.com and click on Washington's Farewell Address to the Nation.
Just to break the suspense, the only outsourced power of Congress in 1796, was Congress power to regulate money to America's first experiment with a private central bank that Washington watched ruining the Nation.
It was a mistake he lamented and warned us of, and one which we replicate today in our very own privately owned Federal Reserve Bank.
It is time to restore the constitutional power/duty(s) of Congress to Congress, and back into the Public Forum, and in doing so, restore the Consent of the Governed to our government, and in doing so, restore the liberty our Founding Fathers and constitutional Framers fought for, and prepared for, America's birthright of liberty.
Serfs Up America!
