Agreed. I have a similar critique of some of the other comments. A lot of people are pointing to problems right now and drawing the conclusion that capitalism caused those problems. No doubt that capitalism was part of many problems but I think it's flawed to say the problems of today are uniquely caused by capitalism.
I can't think of a country that is purely capitalistic. They're usually some mixture of free-market with government intervention where needed. I think the US is in a period of transition but that description will likely hold for the future.
Mixed economy is the term. It's the almost universal modern economic model, though of course the balance varies widely.
