Capitalism is the economic model where the wealth created by the workers is owned by the people o whom the tools and resources required to created said wealth and not the workers who put in the work to create it.

Here is a comic that might help you understand:

What did you tell that man just now?|I told him to work faster!| How much do you pay him?| $25,00 a day...| Where do you get the money to pay him?| I sell products| Who makes the products?| He does...| How many products does he make in one day?| $100,00 worth.| The instead of you paying him... he is paying you $75,00 a day to tell him to work faster!| HUH?| But the machine belong to me!| How did you get the machines?| I sold products and bought them| ...And who made those products?| Shut up... He might hear you!|
