Capitalism is an inherently unstable system, regardless of the amount of state control, and whether the currency is based on a gold standard or not. "Real capitalism", is unrealistic, since the US corporate oligarchy is a natural consequence of monopolization, which in turn is a natural consequence of capitalism. And I don't think "real capitalism" would be any better for the working/middle classes.
