The condition brought about by the ravages of capitalism in someone's life, as it pertains to their creativity and their general pursuit of happiness. Basically, suffering from the need to earn a living in a way that does not fulfill their deeper purpose.
I wonder if John suffers from capitalitis? He can't make ends meet but he seems to have given up wanting to work for someone else at a dead end job.

An economic system based on two basic truisms:
1. Humans are greedy
2. Humans act in their own self interest FIRST
Capitalism exploits these two truisms by creating an economic structure in which benefiting yourself benefits the society as a whole. For example, when Jeff Bezos created Amazon, he benefited himself by giving himself complete financial freedom; and he benefited the society as a whole by providing fast, reliable shipping and delivery.

Terrible system where a lucky few are born into obscene wealth while the average person has to work 8 hours a day just to stay alive and those who can't find work starve to death.
We must never abandon capitalism because I deserved all 100 million of my dollars because I got lucky and was born into a rich family.
