We are not going to return to capitalism as we know but the same goes to socialism as well.
There is not any viable system that could be the one or the other.
It will be a mixture of the two in order to keep a balance in metrics that cannot be improved in capitalism or in socialism itself.
In the current global conditions, I think the Laissez-faire principle is difficult to enforce, in America even in the world of Oligarchy and plutocracy is a public secret. A group of people controls the course of government and rich people control the government of a country.
I am among those who are against the American version of capitalism and the Chinese version of state capitalism. It is more fun for decentralized businesses to form U corporations. Or individual businesses without institutions. because increasingly modern business civilization can be done by anyone. Everyone has the same opportunity in generating income.
In this era of technological progress, we can begin to build a populist-based economic system with a foundation that helps to be a solution to overcome social injustice. One example is through equity crow funding which funds small and medium businesses. During this time the upper class exploited the groups that existed at the base of the pyramid. Consolidation of the base of the pyramid will break the chain of accumulation of wealth at the top of the pyramid. So in this economic system, consumers can also act as one of the small investors in their shop business.
