Capitalism is a system driven by private ownership of means of production. This leads to a system in which an entire nation's populace is driven by the desire to make profits and accumulate wealth. A true capitalist system is a free market economy with NO interference from any governing body.
Many people view this system as unfair because, once a bit of wealth is accumulated or inherited, it becomes easier to accumulate more wealth. However, it is exceptionally rare and nearly impossible for someone who has very little wealth to accumulate any, hence the saying "you need money to make money". This leads to the concentration of most of a nation's wealth among a tiny percentage of the population, with the vast majority of a nation's population sharing the rest.
Without some form of interference from the government or the formation of powerful worker's unions, capitalism inevitably leads to the concentration of power among the few, and the exploitation of the many.
This is why a capitalist economic system can be seen as "unfair".
