Capitalism as the source of a nation’s prosperity might also be a red herring: notice how America and Africa are full of perfectly capitalist, utterly miserable nations.
I would not describe crony-capitalist, corrupt societies as “perfectly capitalist”. Mind you, a lot of nations are sliding down that path, including the United States (see TARP, Cash for Clunkers, Obamacare etc.)
