Yeah. That's called capitalism. No limits on the amount of capital and what the capital owner can do with it.

A better keyword might be '(ultra-)liberal' rather than 'capitalist'.

Liberalism was just the early form of capitalist advocacy. Neoliberalism is the advocacy to return to those 'good old days' of mid 1800s where true capitalism existed in the most pure form. Neoliberals want to do it in a few decades. Far-right like in the US want to do it within the next 6 months by selling out everything and letting 'the market' rule.
