It's the persons, Stupid.
It's not the the concept--American Capitalism--that's 'morally bankrupt'.
It's the people who were raised and taught by amoral persons, or were allowed to raise themselves without any discipline nor spiritual formation via church, synagogue, etc.
Like most societal and political ills, it's a matter of upbringing and role modeling. Moral persons are raised by parents, and are taught by teachers and leaders who role-model moral thinking and behavior.
