In the sentence below, which I have written, should I say capitalism or capitalism's morphing into . . . and why?

Dystopia is about the socioeconomic relationships characteristic of our epoch getting irreparably damaged or altered because of capitalism morphing into corporate medievalism.

Thanks and regards.
 
In the sentence below, which I have written wrote, should I say "capitalism" or "capitalism's" before "morphing into" no ellipsis here and why?

Thanks and regards. Unnecessary.
I don't know what the underlined part means.
I'd use "becoming" instead of "getting".
I wouldn't use "because of" at all. I'd use "because capitalism is morphing into ...".
 
I beg to differ with emsr2d2, but then I'm not a native speaker. I see no problem with "the socioeconomic relationships characteristic". Also, I'd use "because of" since it tells our epoch is affected by capitalism of a particular quality (rather than a general statement where something's happening to capitalism). Better yet, I'd replace "because of" with "by".

Either works, I like the former better.
