What's the best alternative to capitalism in your mind?

Capitalism is pretty good at making sure people are doing something actually useful to others, that's where a lot of the satisfaction of work lies in the first place.

Not all work is equally satisfying as well. Most kinds of work would make me miserable. Capitalism is great because you have a lot of wiggle room - you choose within the intersection of your abilities and what the world wants.

If your preferred work is something useless to society like digging random holes or whatever, you may be able to do that in a capitalist system as well if we implement some sort of basic income.
