If you watch him, you see he's very much in favor of responsible regulation of corporations--particularly in getting their hooks out of the political process. To him capitalism is about people being able to work to become their own bosses, venture out with new businesses (the kind that actually hire people and give them work, rather than the job-slashing transnationals that only look at the bottom line), and the healthy balance of competition that makes businesses grow.
