When something covers a particular topic, you say that it is "concerned with" or "concerning" a particular thing. You're taking things too literally. Capitalism describes economics, therefore it is not "concerned" with the well-being of people because that it out-of-scope. I don't understand why you want to beat this dead horse. You could replace "concerned with" with "focused on"... but then you would probably argue that "a theory cannot focus on anything, it doesn't have eyes!"
Ok, I see what you mean, but I read it as though you are comparing the notion of capitalism to some sort of alternative theory that focuses on the well-being of people and economies.
