If we were starting from scratch I would suggest Anarcho-Capitalism, I think it would be far superior to democracy, but unfortunately we are not starting from scratch and so it would be very difficult to get there from here; but don't let the word "anarchy" scare you, it just means lack of government. Chaos necessarily implies anarchy but anarchy does not necessarily imply chaos.
Capitalism assumes that one can own things, especially money. But without government to adjudicate and enforce claims of ownership, you couldn't own any more than you could carry on your back at a dead run. Most of the rich people in the U.S. are rich in virtue of owning stuff, not making stuff.
