Capitalism vs. Economics
Capitalism:
"…capitalism is not a static set of institutions, but an evolutionary system that reinvents and reinvigorates itself through crises…". Kaletsky (2010) Capitalism and Economic Growth Here
"evolutionary" (above): - Yes, due to the fact that humanity, or that entity which actually practices that which we call 'capitalism', is in a constant state of evolution itself, at all times; not animatedly, but cognitively and emotionally. This evolution is not linear, but, a process of differentiation.
"system" (above): - 'Capitalism' is not a system. 'Capitalism' is naturally evolving cognitive human behaviours in social interaction, where, that milieu of social order, property ownership is intrinsic to the individual human.
Therefore:
'Capitalism' is not a static set of institutions, but the natural behaviours and social expectation of 'right action' in man's animated evolution as humanity'. Capitalism is not an Ideology. Capitalism is human behaviour in social discourse.
Economics:
"Economics" is a System and an Ideology; a system and ideology which is dedicated to the exploitation of the natural behavioural 'capitalism' of humanity, through contrived and premeditated methods of recursive scamming, clipping coin and the debasement of fiat currency; 'imposed' (as an act of aggression), through the processes of stealth, deceit and manipulation called Banking. Indeed, 'economics' is a Power Cult, complete with Pope, Bishops, Cardinals and Priests; including its own Dogma and Rites; an Institutional religion; correctly defined.
Ideologies and Proxies
"Economics" is carried out, in practice, in ideological devolved primitive fantasies that serve as proxies for the Human Spirit. These ideologies are empty promises of Utopia and none can stand before scientific scrutiny; all ideologies support the "Status Quo", and hence the taking of Profit from the naive and gullible mass of humanity, considered as, a priori, 'Human Capital' - by the "elite". Humanity is a dynamic and as such, these Static ideologies are therefore, merely "snake-oil" for the consumption of the masses, and which eventually, evolve into politicalized power cults.

Ideologies:
Socialism - Democracy - Communism - Republicanism
"Under capitalism, man tries to exploit man using voluntary exchange; under socialism, man exploits man using government force. "
Will Spencer
All ideologies are offered as Dogma to the human community as a substitute for individual thinking. All ideologies, or at least the most popular ideologies, morph into Cults that become politicalized. Once politicalized and influential, these Cults become Power entities where Dogma rules supreme and which is enforced and disobedience criminalized. At this stage, these politicalized Power Cults become Collectives from where the Principle of "Tribal Nationalism" takes over as an entirely new personality and attitude. Power Cults are numerically dependent and hence their innate nature is growth through numbers. Tribal Nationalism sees all outsiders as evil and enemies; it sets about to purify itself and adopts irrational and inconsistent viewpoints of bestiality, extreme cruelty and sadism while marching in a path of destructive fanaticism towards its preferred state of Totalitarianism. There is no despicable act that is unacceptable to this Power Cult.
"Politically speaking, tribal nationalism always insists that its own people is surrounded by "a world of enemies", "one against all", that a fundamental difference exists between this people and all others. It claims its people to be unique, individual, incompatible with all others, and denies theoretically the very possibility of a common mankind long before it is used to destroy the humanity of man": Hannah Arendt, The Origins Of Totalitarianism
The reader may object to this point of view, but in this year of 2015, there are many of the politicalized power cults that have degenerated to this level. Engaging around the known world clearing paths through humanity by beheadings, bombings, ethnic cleansing, and crass torture. Note please, that the tribe that carries out beheading of its own citizens on a regular monthly basis also holds the UN Chair of Human Rights. ISIS, the proxy army of the West, often films its beheading of civilians and places them on the Internet; undertaken by trained children. That Constitutional Republic known as the United States of America, once the bastion of Freedom and Liberty, indulges in the most horrid of atrocities including legalized murder and torture of its own citizens by Presidential Decree. Reports state that 90% of the US Drone kills are unintentional; small consolation for the victims.
Why?
Humanity has not evolved. But with the advent of the Internet, humanity is now rapidly becoming aware of these manipulations over Society. Edward Bernays accelerated America's applied use of Propaganda to control the masses which resulted in the USA morphing from a Constitutional Republic to a predator but broken Empire over a few short decades. This is now unraveling, and, as a result, we see an almost exact parallel in all aspects, with the Fall of Rome. During the Clinton Administration, it became known that the USA was heading for "economic" Collapse, and this Presidency immediately engaged in deregulating its Banking and Wall Street Industries - one should say, criminalizing the Banking and Finance sectors, under the cover of the FedRes, a private corporate functionary, owned by individual and private Bankers. Today, Year 2015, the FedRes has destroyed Main Street to save the US Banking and Finance industries, but by doing so, has destroyed, predictably, the USA, the West and all its dependent vassals.
Collectives require obedience and loyalty as well as sacrifice; your sacrifice. Collectives, that is those Power Cults, beyond, but similar to, the extreme orderings of "tribal nationalism", are non-human life forms of structured and organized entities. These entities are called 'Power' - a life form in full actuality, and for all purposes of self-agenda, of survival. Power does not care what man or woman leads; they are all dispensable. This life form is , which makes its own decisions, of a primitive social order of fundamental fanaticism. It behaves as a single celled Amoeba; is totally ruthless, non-emotional, a parasitical predator that seeks that beyond Totalitarian numerics; this is its weakness as when it stop growing, it dies; the Collective is unsustainable but the damage it rains upon humanity, prior to its death, is devastating.
'Power' is probably a fundamental energy Principle dating back perhaps 4 Billion years ago, or so, when our planet, Solar system and Galaxy were first formed and created. Whatever, it exists and only man arising to his humanity can stop it; one way, or the other.
"Woe to that nation whose literature is disturbed by the intervention of power."
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The Global Collapse which now nears, is merely a symptom. Wars are symptoms, as are suffering, behavioural irrationality, disease, poverty and the acceptance of ideologies as the foundations for Society; all are symptoms.
Summary:
Humanity is ruled by Power Cults which Humanity needs to ignore and disenfranchise; it is the only antidote. To do this man needs to embrace its Humanity to demand the establishment of the rigours of science in all aspects of governance and order. Government is a valid and necessary undertaking but not in the hands of the dishonest, the incompetent, depraved, the psychopaths nor Cults, of any denomination. Man needs to rise to vision and values; we must embrace Risk. Man must reach for the Stars and end the wallowing in Static ignorance. Question everything; accept only the truth of merit arrived at by your own effort. Your Mind is your gift; use it.
