Ask HN: Will capitalism remain incumbent in the US over the next 50 years?

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

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.
