Poverty in the world is caused by a lack of capitalism. China's economy is only now starting to grow because of AMERICAN corporations stepping in, and giving them jobs, and in general, income of capital.

Just a few thoughts:
I don't think that capitalism makes people/society richer. What does are increases in technology. Technological advances allow people to live life easier, they make harder tasks simpler, and they free up workers for other tasks.
One great example of this is the move away from an agrarian society. It is no longer necessary to have a majority of people grow/raise food. The technological advances in agriculter, transportaion, preservation, etc. have had the biggest influence on man kind ever.
Now if that is not in contest, then the discussion should be what organization of people will tend to lead to these technological advances? If this question can be answered then it should be clear which organization would be better to society as a whole.
