With the way mankind is heading, we haven't learnt to put petty differences aside and work together in crafting a better society that would put us on a path of a unified goal which will bring real advancement in space travel that allows us to travel to other solar system harnessing what we find and bringing mankind to the peak of its achievements However capitalism might be the idealogy that will fuel said advancement but to the detriment of mankind and society as a whole into a singular use looked as purely labour for a deeply ingrained class based society in the future. In my view, hive cities that was what kowloon city was before it was destroyed.

Capitalism is a greed-driven social system of resource consumption oriented toward building "wealth" (defined in terms of money) for individuals, so faster consumption produces correspondingly more privately owned wealth for cleverly managed enterprises, as opposed to conserving and/or improving resource sustenance that rewards everyone (including future persons) suitably.

If I may, I believe you might be referring to Late Stage Capitalism from its current state. Capitalism done right would have paved the way for self sustaining system of renewable resource use that would gear us as a spesies to the space faring age.... unfortunately certain aspects like education and social engineering these days in the current capitalistic system has degreased us as a spesies to where we are now and thus putting the ambiguity in whether we would even reach it a possibility...
