I already have the risks written down, but what about the benefits? That's been a bit harder to find.

Not only does it not benefit us, capitalism forces society to make things that it does not need. Under capitalism, goods are not produced because of a need by society, they are produced because a profit can be made on it. For example, why did GM put the little chips in the ignition keys for all GM vehicles. All marketing studies said that the people did not need it, and they did not want it. However, GM made the keys with the chips to increase their profits. That is a perfect example of capitalism. Under capitalism. the needs of the singular owner, the individual, far outweigh the needs of society, even when that same individual is dependent on the society. Things are produced for the owner's profits, not for the needs of the masses. The fact that profit can be made by satisfying the needs of the masses are the only reasons why the owners make things that people need. For example, if everyone needs more bread, but the capitalist can make more profit from making more weapons, they will make weapons instead of bread, and let the people shoot each other for the bread that exists. Then, when everyone has shot each other, and the profit that can be made from bread exceeds that of weapons, then the capitalist will make bread.

You will have to reseach to theory of Capitalism and the constraints that need to be put on it for the benefit of the overall society. Unrestrained Capitalism is ugly and benefits only a small number of people. Read what you can and make a decision on what you read as this is all subjective. See if you can get a paper on free market ecomony from a university library.

Nowhere. The whole spectrum, even the part that pretends to be anti-capitalist, is controlled by the elitists in power. Just try to figure out what makes sense.
And capitalism is controlled by the aristocracy. Abolish the right to inheritance and you will democratize capitalism. No one will tell you something like that though. So try to think original thoughts independent of any source. All sources are pre-owned.
