Do you believe that capitalism will be replaced by a different system? If so, which and why?

Worth knowing what capitalism is and isn't as well as the the continuum on which it exists: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capitalism.asp

Very insightful, thank you!

The question assumes a consensus definition of capitalism, and that it (by any definition except the most careless) is incumbent. I recommend that you back out both of those assumptions.

I should have qualified further: capitalism as the prevailing economic system within the United States.
