What would it mean for a capitalism to be perfectly just? What are the essential boundaries of justice?

A concept I've been playing with recently is the mismatch between "base desire" and the market. To participate in capitalism, a person must convert their unfulfilled desire into the purchase of a specific product. If this conversion process fails, people are left unsatisfied.
