This is a decent youtube clip emphasizing positive aspects of capitalism.

More fuel for the discussion on capitalism fire.
The main point alleged here is: "world poverty has fallen by 80% since 1970".
They claim capitalism is the main driving force behind reduced levels of poverty over the past 5 or so decades, which in turn implies capitalism creates elevated living standards.

Sure there are positive aspects on capitalism!
Anyway there is few doubts that free market is the most effective way to promote short-term innovation and short-term efficiency.
Problem of capitalism is that the money creates money... Which means that in the long term rich people become even wealthier and poor people become poorer. That's exactly what's currently happening in all western society. Poverty is decreasing not thanks to capitalism but thanks to industrialization (which is a direct consequence of capitalism of course). Once the industrialization process is indeed the capitalism effect will be to increase inequality between rich and poors. And the worst part is that as rich people become wealthier they also acquire more and more power, making them actual dictators.
Capitalism and communism have different ways but the same consequence -> Dictatorship of few people and families who have no interest in changing anything.
