I didn't intend to be overly praising of capitalism, as I think was inferred. I just meant to point out that happiness can be found anywhere. It doesn't have an absolute starting point, like temperature or something. There's a thing called the hedonic treadmill.

the observed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes.

If you're born in a pit of hell prison and suffer regular brutality, you're still going to know happiness.

That's all I was getting at. Thanks for the praise though!
