What constitutes a bad decision in your view?
My perspective is that Capitalism actively encourages and rewards the kind of behaviour most would consider to be morally and ethically bankrupt. The simplest example would be monopolising control of a limited but necessary resource, thereby granting you what is effectively absolute power over those who need it. Think oxygen supply on a moon base or fresh water on deserted island.
Take cigarette companies also. The "good" decision under capitalism was for them to knowingly deceive society on the health risks of their product. All so they could continue to profit.
Where did you get that idea?
Capitalism is based on people who have more money/wealth (aka capital) making more money.
In our system as it exists today, the capital owners have managed to use their vastly disproportionate wealth to influence the government to prioritize their needs over all others. This is a nearly inevitable outcome of unfettered capitalism, combined with legalized bribery of elected officials (lobbying, PACs, etc).
Now, it's certainly true that no system is going to remain in balance long if people can make decisions that hurt the system and suffer no negative consequences themselves—all the moreso if those decisions actually benefit them. But that's not at all the same as saying that capitalism—or any economic system—is based around those kinds of feedback loops.

bankers really think they are the drivers of growth, that's how you end up with all your manufacturing in China. These people are clowns
