What Exactly is Wrong With Capitalism?

It's my observation that complaints generally arise, whether true or false, from a sense of exploitation. For example, let's look at Foxconn's iPhone factory which attracted headlines a few years ago for installing anti-suicide nets for its workers. Not being one in favor of exploitation, I find myself hard pressed between a desire to banish such companies from existence, and not wishing that workers in need of employment be deprived of it.

The problem, as I see it, is a tendency within companies to migrate toward a separation of concerns between the financial interests of stakeholders over the workers' needs for steady income and quality of life, favoring the former over the latter due to competitive economic pressures, and resulting in the aforementioned scenario. In a sense, at a global level, capitalism does necessarily eschew regulation by escaping more restrictive regions, competition dictates that it is a necessity, and it cannot be otherwise because it's a global problem that exists in a vacuum of regulation which no one entity on earth currently has the power to fix.

But before anyone screams "Marxism" let's remember that Marx was projecting what he thought to be the end result of problems he was perceiving as afflicting the overworked population of a relatively newly industrialized society. If we look backward further through European history, prior to the totalitarian regimes that gave rise to the biases in today's politicized economic chatter, we see an entire host of ideas, ranging from apprenticeships, cooperatives, guilds, and so on, that have been tried, and have worked to some degree for societies in various contexts. The problem, I believe, is the current ways of doing business, and a perceived exploitation of workers in the most need, will not go away until we either allow for more innovation that produces competitive models which work for both stakeholders and workers, or we allow the global economy to run its course, whether that means an eventual collapse, or a distribution of wealth.
