From a brief reading of history one will find that Socialism kills. Every time it's been tried it fails. Venezuela is the perfect example. Capitalism, and by that I mean the free market has been incredibly successful every time it's been tried. Unfortunately it is never left alone. There are always those who would rather steal than work so they convince the government to regulate. Government is a a cancer and never fails to take any opportunity to grow. So it does. Government regulation is like a camel. Once it get's it's nose in the tent, soon enough it takes over the whole tent.
Once again...Venezuela...once the most prosperous country in South America. Now, in only a couple of decades since int went Socialist...it can't even feed it's children.

Two things in closing.

Number one. The Free Market can be compared to the weather in that it is a chaotic system. By Chaotic I mean that there are SO many variables that it's impossible to understand sufficiently to control. An old saying I learned in Munitions is 'if you don't understand it....don't mess with it"

Number Two. The Free Market works best, for everyone, when it's Free. It works less well , for every one, when it's less free. The less free it is, the less well it works. When it's regulated it steps on the slippery slope and begins the long slide toward socialism. Like Venezuela where children starve but the daughter of Chavez is a billionaire.
