Humanity doesn't innately have capitalism, at least not the majority.
Capitalism is a direct result of human nature. There's a reason why we had to regulate the hell out of it, and that's because humans, by and large, are greedy selfish animals.
I think the vast majority of people just want to go to work, accomplish something that makes the world a little better, get a pat on the back and then go home. There are some people who are selfish greedy animals and capitalism was built entirely by and for those people. They get a thrill out of getting ahead and making more money and feeling superior to others the rest of us get to suffer.
