i think you're describing commerce rather than capitalism
ever since we went down the river in canoes to exchange corn for seashells, yes, we engaged in commerce. capitalism concentrating money and power is done *through* commerce, but isn't also commerce itself
it's also an important distinction to make because fighting the abuses of capitalism does not mean fighting commerce itself, but modifying how we do commerce
decentralize it
Even some capitalist practices are okay. When the main who owns the business runs the business and knows the people working for him. When the owner of a large bus company here sold up to a competitor on his retirement, he shared the proceeds with employees, even though they still had jobs. He paid a pension to the wife of a bus driver who died in his 50s. But enormous companies owned by shareholders with zero connection with the running of the company have seen exploitation, desecration, destruction, pollution & corruption soar.
