If I understand your question correctly, capitalism has no goal. It's mainly driven by people whose goal it is to increase their own wealth. It's contributed to by people who want to provide for their families.
At times, capitalism has crushed people and kept them in miserable jobs in the interests of increasing wealth. It has overthrown democratically elected governments for the benefit of private fruit companies.
I am not anti capitalist, in fact I think it's better than all the other awful systems we know about, but just because it is doesn't mean it's optimal. I don't think a society built out of human beings can be optimal.
