Partially true - capitalism will give you what you choose through your actual behavior of making a purchase rather than what you say you prefer or wish you preferred. I bought LED lights for my house back when they were $30/bulb and few people even talked about CFLs. My reason? I am super lazy about changing lightbulbs, especially in inconvenient places like a fixture in the middle of a staircase. Many years later I sold the house with original set of lights still working. I am similarly lazy about cleaning up glass shards from floor or dishwasher, but this one will not help, when it shatters it shatters into a bigger mess. Anyway, if consumers started to demand durability, market would respond, but most want pretty glasses at low price. No economic system is a match for human stupidity and on the other hand very smart people would make any economic system work by modifying it to be practical (add some social safety net and environmental protection to capitalism, turn socialism into hybrid system that also includes free market).
