Capitalism is a system where one class of people (workers) sell their labor for the profit of another class (owners/capitalists). So feudalism was neither capitalist nor industrialist. Colonial capitalism - not typically industrial but still capitalist. Industrial capitalism - both industrialist and capitalist. The modern American economy - service based not industry based - but still capitalist.
