On Capitalism, what does "+ amounts" mean? Does it only include coin symbols with actual numbers in it or also empty coin symbols? This is only relevant if you play with first-edition Salvager - does Capitalism affect it?
We could also imagine a card similar to Harbor Village that said "if it gave you +, +1 Card". This card would not itself give you any coins; would it be affected by Capitalism?

It's not relevant if a card can actually make $; a card with "This does not give you +$1" would be affected by Capitalism.

"+$ amounts" requires an amount, which e.g. 0 is but blank isn't. So Capitalism would not work with "If it gave you +$, +1 Card," and of course ideally I wouldn't use that phrasing. Old Salvager clearly should work with Capitalism; it has errata, possibly for this very reason; the system works, at least as well as it can.

As always if someone goes online to ask, "how does this pre-errata thing work," the answer is always, "use the errata." And if they don't go online, then there's no way to tell them the answer. If they go online but insist on using the pre-errata version, well, it isn't supported, or rather the support is the errata; it's beyond the scope. Though people are welcome to play by whatever house rules they want.
