1.) capitalism creates a major gap between social classes in a society. Successful buisnessmen who were very innovative and brought back a lot of income have had legislations like the Sherman anti-trust act of 1880 put in place. Social classes were left with big gaps that 3-7% of each state in the USA have wealthy families. Pure capitalism gives no limits to buisnessmen/companies giving them no say on how much they can gain. Buisnessmen like John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and etc. took so much control that they left the rest of the people working for their monopolistic companies.

2.) capitalism causes more poverty. Statistics show that "... pure capitalism hires 8 out of 9 workers in the USA,..." places like Hong Kong have poverty percentage of 19.6% and in the USA just as like with 15.3% high of poverty. Capitalism causes problems and led to poverty due to the fact that gov. Don't offer to support those living in poverty.
3.) capitalistic economies have the tendency to "boom" or bust during recessions. "There have been as many as 47 recession in the United States since 1790, U.S. recessions have increasingly affected economies on a world wide scale, especially as countles become more intertwined." And, in the Great Depression, "GDP fell b 27%.. and unemployment reached 25%." This comes to prove that capitalism has unexpected falls along the way, and not small ones but ones that affect the whole country and other nations who depend on countries with capitalistic economies.
