How is capitalism on the decline? I mean yes, there has been some cracks appearing in the system lately, after the crisis and globally the face of capitalism has change with the worries on ecology and third world exploitation. But make no mistake, look at China, look at India, look at the emerging nations of the world, there is no alternative to capitalism at the moment. It's a system with many problem, by now most can at least agree on that and are no longer blind in the belief that it is some pinnacle of human society. Communism is dead, gift exchange is dead, and besides Burning Man and SF commune type of small communities, we have yet to find an alternative to it.
Just because capitalism has embraced a 'social awareness' does in no way change it is still capitalism, and that the divide between rich and poor is only getting bigger.
