I mean, I suppose you could call regulatory capture 'capitalism'... But seeing as most people's response to 'capitalism failing' is to call for more regulation, I don't think that that's really fair.

Well, there exist countries that have government without capitalism, so yes I do believe they are.

sigh... you can't have capitalism without government.
