The moral justification for capitalism is that it is the best way to achieve the common good. If Marx had been right, and it enriched the minority by immiserating the majority, then capitalism would be morally wrong........

Capitalism is amoral. The beauty of it is that, long term, moral behavior is rewarded and immoral behavior ultimately leads to failure. It pays to deal honestly, fairly, and to do good work.

In a capitalist country the more people you keep happy the more prosperous you are. In a socialist country, you only have to keep one person happy, the guy above you.
