    it’s concerned with making money

    Nope, the question an economic system attempts to answer is “who should control the wealth created by the working class’s surplus labor;” it’s concerned not with making money, but with allocating it where it should be allocated. Capitalism’s answer to that question is “rich private citizens,” so it ends up concerned primarily with making money, but that’s an emergent property of capitalism rather than the fundamental nature of an economic system.
