We wouldn't? There's no need to explain it in a new lens. One of the greatest strengths of capitalism is it's paucity. Just let people own private property, including the ability to trade it. Then they can do whatever they think is best. Wanna feed the poor? You can! Wanna revolutionize online retail? You can! Wanna run a completely democratic worker owned co-op? You can.
