Has the Capitalist System had it’s day?

I ask the question as the world appears to be looming towards another mass recession due to the
Collapse of the Chinese stock market

The world is supposedly just getting back on it’s feet after the chaos of 2008 (although the vast majority of us working people have seen very little of any recovery)

So I ask the question again , Has the Capitalist System or so called Free Market economy had it’s day, the soul pursuit of profit without any moral or social responsibility in my eyes is wrong (when is enough profit enough )and despite all the bullshit spoken by big business, politicians and economists and such like very little of the worlds wealth trickles down to the average worker.

I’m not advocating communism as an alternative as many people I’ve had this discussion with seem to think I want, just to open someone’s mind to look at things in a different way, there must be a better alternative out there, because anyone can see that Capitalism is very much broken and I doubt there is a fix out there soon.
