Aside from ism, the truly insightful comment of "Capitalism: A Love Story" lies at 01:02:30-01:03:24, in less than 60 seconds, the secondary root cause for the Western decline is plainly stated by Prof. William Black:

"... Today, our best minds are used for something else. Where do we send our top math and science people? Into finance. They do not go to science in the America; they go to Wall Street. ... instead of working for the common good. We've taken people that could be enormously productive, just we are short of in the America, and we've taken them and put them in activity that is not simply less productive, but where that is actually destructive: where actually every day they work, they make the world worse. ..."

This is of course the consequence of the primary root cause, the severe deterioration of basic education system for the past 30 years:
