The problem with that question is that capitalism is an ideal, where the word is generally taken to mean "perfect competition," and even if we satisfied our current expectations for a capitalist society, we would still have the ideal and fall short of it. And another problem is that a "country" as a political entity is inherently socialist. True capitalism would mean everyone is able to defend their property while no borders exist and no threat of violence is tolerated anywhere. Such could exist in a geographic country, but never in a political country. Its an ideal. This, by the way, is why I think religion is required for capitalism.
What degree of centralization matters? Or what kind? There have always been wealthy people, and there have always been thieves, but there has not always been banks. Having wealth is not the same kind of centralization as being a bank. The first banks were in Venice, literally lenders who congregated on the bank or shoreline. The first central bank was the Dutch Wisselbank in the 1600's.
No. Capitalism allows for any priority you choose. The maximization of profits is the basis for making predictions, since that's rational behavior. But economists recognize that "profit" can be measured in unquantifiable ways.
The only thing capitalism asserts is property rights. The "ism" indicates a worldview - the worldview is that no one has a right to steal, and/or the ownership of things causes people to make better decisions about the things than non-ownership would.
I thought you blocked me. Now I owe you an apology for my rudeness.
Feel free to steal this meme for the God only knows what truckload of BS we have to deal with today.
Is it okay to just steal memes? Without permission... This is my first social media. Truly.
Doctor Kate Bieberdorf, a physics teacher from Texas, and the crazy wild side of science.

That physics teacher is doing a lot of chemistry... I taught chemistry one year, mostly enjoyed it, but no way in hell would I do this stuff.
Cattle methane doesn't warm the planet at all.
Its late stage socialism. We've talked about this. You clearly have no idea what capitalism is.
🤔 realization...
The CIA is basically the Thieves Guild from Skyrim.
Forgot one - we also got Hawaii in the deal. Queen Something Something had given a speech in Congress and was just days away from getting independence back, but when that war started, the president asserted we needed Hawaii to fight Spain.
Also the war was started by a false flag operation. That's now proven and accepted history.

"His most recent address is in Hawaii"
The same as the guy that shot Trump...
They know no one is booking a flight to Hawaii to check it. They are truly mocking the American people.
Got a bridge to sell to anyone who believes this
That's the thing. The state goes out of its way to mock us. They obviously framed that guy. They know they can get away with it, so they mock us by making it unbelievable.
They're obviously framing that guy they arrested.
